GOAL - Sutton 0-1 Mansfieldpublished at 15:29 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023
Stephen Quinn (25 mins)
The Stags hit the front.
A quality ball in from Callum Johnson from the right to the back post and Stephan Quinn is there to nod in from the tightest of angles.
The Stags have the second best xG ratio in the division (37) and they're at it again.

Wrexham 0-0 Newport
After all the hype ahead of this most distant of local derbies, the expectant crowd at The Racecourse is not getting the entertainment hoped for as yet.
County have taken 1,100 fans up from the south while 1,800 home fans are in the new temporary stand behind the Kop - the first time supporters have been at that end for 16 years or 5,719 days if you're interested.
The strong wind isn't helping. Scrappy start in north Wales.

Portsmouth 0-0 Fleetwood
Another dangerous situation for Portsmouth, and again Abu Kamara is at the heart of it.
The on-loan Norwich winger sets up Alex Robertson but the Australian midfielder is wide with his finish.

Carlisle 0-0 Cheltenham

Portsmouth 0-0 Fleetwood
It is a whopping 287 miles from Fleetwood to Fratton Park.
There is only a very small band of the Cod Army who have made the way to the south coast, but that is wonderful support at any time, let alone on the Saturday before Christmas.
Their team are holding firm for now.

Tommy Leigh has scored the opening goal in League Two, putting Accrington in front at home to Walsall.
Stanley are without a win in four league games so this would be a welcome festive tonic for boss John Coleman.
The first goal... and the only goal in the fourth tier thus far today.

Reading 0-0 Wigan
The Latics may have beaten Reading once in the past eight meetings but they've started brightly and are causing the home side defence some headaches.
A Jordan Jones corner found its way to Sean Clare in the area but his effort was just about smuggled clear.
The Royals struggling to shake off their sluggish start.

Portsmouth 0-0 Fleetwood
Portsmouth's Abu Kamara is a man in form after his two goals at Shrewsbury seven days ago and he is close to another.
But his effort is just about cleared behind for a corner following a brilliant clearance from Connor Teale as Pompey try to grab an early goal.

Barnsley 0-1 Stevenage
Barnsley try to make an immediate response as Devante Cole flicks one into Adam Phillips' path, but the midfielder drags his effort narrowly past the post.
Only Peterborough and Bolton have scored more than the Reds, and at least they have a long time to find a way past Stevenage's defence.

IT'S THREE!
Game over already?

Luther Wildin (4 mins)
Stevenage are up and running!
Perhaps not a surprise to hear Jamie Reid is involved, but he is denied by Liam Roberts, and Luther Wildin is on hand from the rebound.
