So that is the last full round of EFL league fixtures all wrapped up with a metaphorical bow, in time for Christmas.

Norwich top the tree like a bright yellow star, in the Championship, while League One leaders Portsmouth can still be caught by Doncaster if they win in midweek, so can't count themelves top just yet.

Newport have the honour of topping League Two over the festive period.

We know it won't be the same Christmas for many of us, and today's announcements from the government might have forced a change of plans.

Hope you can still enjoy the big day, and hopefully you'll be with us on Boxing Day, when EFL football is always part of the festivities. At least some things won't change.

Take care, and Merry Christmas.

Right, that's just about us done across the English Football League so we'll run you through your full-time headlines next...

Zak Dearnley has sealed it for Oldham!

A fourth goal and there's no coming back for Newport, now 4-2 down.

Forest Green have claimed a fine win over in-form Crewe at The Lawn, winning 1-0.

But a bad day for their neighbours Cheltenham, third at the start of the day. They are humbled 3-0 at Barrow.

The thriller by the M5 ends in a remarkable 4-3 win for Walsall over Port Vale.

They trailed 2-0 and 3-2.

Bradford have won for the first time in six matches, beating Cambridge 1-0.

Brentford do the business in the first-half for a morale and points-boosting win over promotion rivals Reading.

Bryan Mbeumo got the double, after Mathias Jensen's opener. Sone Aluko's header was merely consolation for the Royals.

Millwall and Forest share the spoils, two games unbeaten for the pair, though it does little to lift the visitors in their bid to climb away from danger.

Nick Powell scored early on for the hosts and they managed to hold on despite loads of Blackburn pressure.

Brilliant display by Luton, who hold free-scoring Bournemouth to a goalless draw.

They had some great chances too, did the Hatters, in a fine display.

Two Hornets horror shows in defence help Huddersfield to a comfortable home win over Watford.

Anis Mehmeti's late equaliser gives Wycombe a share of the points.

Birmingham led through Maxime Colin but Middlesbrough have ended up comfortable winners.

Neil Etheridge's own goal was probably the pick of the goals.

Tony Pulis has his first win as Sheffield Wednesday boss, thanks to Tom Lees' header.

Coventry dug in and battled, but could not beat Keiren Westwood.

Plymouth have won!

The EFL's worst run of six-straight defeats is over.

They've beaten Milton Keynes 1-0.

Blackburn nearly grab a late, late equaliser but Joe Bursik denies Harvey Elliott.

Think that will be that now.

Brentford hit the bar late on, and then Marcus Forss, unmarked, swipes into the side netting.

Won't affect the outcome to be fair.

Brett Pitman with a late equaliser for Swindon at home to Charlton.

And Wimbledon and Crewe have exchanged late goals.

It's Crewe who lead 2-1 in stoppage time through Oliver Finney.

Swansea win the final game on their old pitch before getting a new one for Christmas.

Leaders Newport fall behind!

Has Alfie McCalmont grabbed the points for Oldham?

They've twice come from behind in South Wales.

Max Walters puts Crawley in front late on at Leyton Orient.
