Read all the latest reports below.

Jay Emmanuel-Thomas played the full 90 minutes and scored as Blackpool drew 3-3 with Doncaster at the Keepmoat Stadium.

Emmanuel-Thomas started in central midfield and would score a contender for goal of the season. Collecting the ball on the edge of the box, he jinked past two players before calmly slotting home to level the scores after Martin Woods and Billy Sharp had scored for Donny while veteran striker Brett Ormerod had pulled one back.

Ben Burgess then put the Seasiders in front with a superb strike of his own but Sharp struck again as both sides shared the spoils.

Jay Simpson played the full 90 minutes for Queens Park Rangers as they lost 2-1 to Leicester City on Friday night.

Simpson’s free-scoring form came to an end as Nigel Pearson’s ambitious side came from behind to win with two strikes from Matty Fryatt while Tottenham-loanee Adel Taarabt scored for QPR.

Henri Lansbury played the full 90 minutes as Watford were hammered by promotion chasing West Brom, 5-0.

Lansbury’s two goal haul last week which earned him a place in the BBC’s Goals of the Week video looked a million miles away as West Brom blitzed a youthful Hornets side. Jonas Olssen, Luke Moore, Gianni Zuiverloon, Simon Cox and a Graham Dorrans penalty did the damage.

Gavin Hoyte played the full 90 minutes at centre back as Brighton drew 3-3 with Hartlepool United.

In a topsy-turvy fixture, both sides could have claimed the points as a strike from Liam Dickinson and a brace from Nicky Forster were cancelled out by Adam Boyd, Andy Monkhouse and Richie Jones efforts from Pool. It finished 3-3.

Håvard Nordtveit played the full 90 minutes in central midfield as Nuremberg drew 2-2 with Werder Bremen.

Despite having a two goal lead through Christian Elgler and Albert Bunjanku, Bremen stepped things up in the second half and drew level as Aaron Hunt hit a classy brace.

Pedro Botelho played 71 minutes for Celta Vigo as their terrible form continued as they lost 2-0 to Real Unión.

A strike in either half from Gorka Brit condemned struggling Celta to another defeat as a huge dent in their attempts at promotion was formed.
