Dundee United threw everything at it during ten minutes of added time against St Mirren, and should really have won it, but it finished 1-1 at Tannadice. Celtic came from 1-0 down to win 3-1 against Hibernian. Elie Youan’s red card proved to be decisive as the Hoops rallied in the second half.

Saints battled hard for that point and nearly lose it at the end as Perisic heads just wide with the last action of the game. For Spurs, this was a big opportunity missed.

This one will be worth watching back later. Leeds are out of the drop zone and Wolves’ progress under Julen Lopetegui stalls.

A point that suits neither side.

Easy win for Unai Emery’s side.

And now it is settled.

Leeds United's Rodrigo scores their fourth goal past Wolverhampton Wanderers' keeper Jose Sa.

Forster goes the right way but he cannot get a hand on the penalty which goes high into the net.

Southampton's James Ward-Prowse celebrates scoring their third goal and getting them on level terms.

Very soft, but Pape Sarr takes a wild swing to clear and Maitland-Niles steals in on the blindside and hits the deck. No hesitation from the referee, he points to the spot.

If this wasn’t done before, it is now. VAR check for offside, but eventually it stands.

Emi Buendia of Aston Villa scores a goal to make it 3-0.

League Two

Some game at Spotland, Charlie Austin has scored four goals for Swindon, but Rochdale are not out of it. Tthe hosts trail 3-4.

Leeds can now breathe a sigh of relief. Jonny goes over the ball and into Ayling’s ankle. That is a bad, bad foul. Not sure why VAR needed to look at that for so long, he’s off.

Jaconb Ramsey has buried the Cherries. Hard to see a way back here, but then I said that about Wolves…

Aston Villa's Jacob Ramsey scores their second goal past Bournemouth's keeper Neto.

Big save from Fraser Forster to deny Maitland-Niles but earns a corner for Saints. The first ball is cleared but Ward-Prowse hangs a second attempt up to the back post for Sekou Mara to nod back across goal where Walcott is on the spot to side-foot home.

Southampton's Theo Walcott (right) scores his side's second goal.

Saints fail to clear from a corner and when Kulesevski hoists a cross back in Cristian Romero does enough to get the ball back to Perisic just inside the box to fire a volley home.

Tottenham's Ivan Perisic (left) scores his side's third goal.

My call when Leeds 3-0 up is looking on very shaky ground. Cunha has his first goal since joining Wolves on loan from Atletico Madrid.

Wolverhampton Wanderers' Matheus Cunha celebrates scoring their second goal.

League One

Both Ipswich and Portsmouth added second goals since the break against Shrewsbury and Bristol Rovers respectively.

Kulusevski stands up his man and whips in a cross, Kane gets above Walker-Peters and powers his header in. That is the England captain’s 12th goal in his last 14 games against Saints.

Harry Kane heads Spurs into the lead at Southampton.

This is all over. Kristensen outmuscles his man and fires past Jose Sar.

Leeds United defender Rasmus Kristensen (25) scores a goal to make the score 0-3.

All to play for! What a goal that is from Jonny, who takes advantage of Illan Meslier being well off his line to clear to loop a first-time volley in from more than 35 yards out.

Championship

Middlesbrough are now 2-0 up against Preston, Reading have equalised against Hull, Luton lead 1-0 at Sunderland and Wigan have levelled to make it 1-1 at Watford.

54 mins: VAR check for a penalty at St Mary’s. Peresic’s shot from the edge of the box its Maitland-Niles, the defenders hands were in that awkward body block position but he knew nothing about it. No penalty is the call, probably correct.

James Maddison’s clever pass gets Barnes in and the winger clips a smart finish past Raya in the Brentford goal.

Leicester City's Harvey Barnes scores his side's equaliser.

This is becoming a big afternoon for Leeds. They stretch their lead with Ayling stooping to nod home at the far post as he inexplicably finds himself unmarked at a corner. Softer than soft that.

Leeds United defender Luke Ayling (2) scores a goal to make the score 0-2 during the Premier League match between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leeds United.
Leeds United's Luke Ayling (centre) celebrates scoring their side's second goal of the game with team-mates.

The second half has barely restarted and we are level. Walcott is played in down the right hand side, the winger gallops into the box and slides a ball across the six yard box for Adams to divert home off the far post. Great ball from Walcott and brave forward play from Adams.

Che Adams of Southampton scores the home side’s equaliser past Spurs keeper Fraser Forster while under pressure from Cristian Romero.
Southampton’s Che Adams is congratulated after scoring his side’s equaliser against Tottenham.

Peeep! We are back underway for the second half across the 3pm kick-offs, apart from at St Mary’s where they are running slightly behind after playing seven minutes of added to deal with all of those injuries.
