BARNSLEY 2

Cadden 40, Cole 45+2 SHREWSBURY 1 Phillips 90+1

DEVANTE COLE’S strike was decisive as Barnsley kept their top two hopes alive after both teams were reduced to 10 men.

Nicky Cadden put the Tykes ahead in the 40th minute and Cole added a second moments later.

Cadden was dismissed in the 70th minute for a foul on Killian Phillips, who struck in added time before Shrews teammate Ryan Bowman was also sent off.

CHELTENHAM 1 May 84 IPSWICH 1 Chaplin 64

CONOR CHAPLIN’S 22nd goal of the season wasn’t enough to help Ipswich claim top spot as their eight-game winning streak came to a halt.

Chaplin appeared to have put Town on course for victory when he poked home in the 64th minute to score Ipswich’s 99th goal of the season.

But a mistake by keeper Christian Walton allowed Alfie May to equalise in the 84th minute.

PETERBOROU­GH 3

Hartridge og 8, Mason-Clark 41, Clarke-Harris 70 EXETER 1 Harper 46

JONSON Clarke-Harris capped play-off chasing Peterborou­gh’s fifth win in six games with his 26th goal of the season.

Posh establishe­d a two-goal half-time lead after an Alex Hartridge own-goal and Ephron Mason-Clark’s 41st-minute lob.

Exeter’s Rekeem Harper halved the deficit after the break but Clarke-Harris pounced in the 70th minute.

PORTSMOUTH 0 MORECAMBE 0

PORTSMOUTH’S faint play-off hopes have all but disappeare­d after a draw that did little to boost Morecambe’s survival bid.

A late save by Shrimps keeper Connor Ripley denied Pompey’s Reeco Hackett - but a point leaves the visitors five from safety with just four games left.

Tom Lowery also had chances for the home side, who are five points off the top six.

BOLTON 1 John 67 CAMBRIDGE 1 Smith 90+5

SAM SMITH’S header deep in added time salvaged a point that could prove crucial in Cambridge’s battle against the drop.

Bolton were aiming to tighten their grip on a play-off spot and went ahead in the 67th minute when Declan John drilled home.

But Smith struck in the 95th minute to keep third-bottom U’s three points from safety.

DERBY 1 McGoldrick 17 MK DONS 1 Lawrence 68

HENRY LAWRENCE’S equaliser boosted the Dons’ survival hopes and dealt a blow to Derby’s play-off ambitions.

The Rams forced a 17th-minute lead when David McGoldrick struck his 21st goal of the season but Lawrence pulled Milton Keynes level after 68 minutes.

The stalemate leaves Derby outside the top six on goal difference while MK opened a four-point gap to the bottom three.

PLYMOUTH 0 LINCOLN 2

Shodipo 28, House 47

PLYMOUTH slipped off the League One top spot after suffering only a second home league defeat of the season.

Mid-table Lincoln stunned high-flying Argyle when Olamide Shodipo finished a 28th minute counter-attack to put the Imps ahead.

And Ben House wrapped up the win immediatel­y after the break when he drilled home his third goal in two games.

SHEFF WED 3 Adeniran 11, 46, Palmer 72 ACCRINGTON 0

DENNIS ADENIRAN scored his first league goals of the season to help fire Wednesday to the top of the table.

The Owls came into the clash without a win in six games but Adeniran opened the scoring after just 11 minutes.

The midfielder then added his second early in the second half before Liam Palmer finished off Accrington in the 72nd minute.

CHARLTON 3 Rak-Sakyi 7, 17, Bonne 50 BURTON 2 Hughes 45+2, Walker 76

JES RAK-SAKYI’S firsthalf double helped Charlton claim the points despite losing Jack Payne to a late red card.

Rak-Sakyi put the Addicks two up within 17 minutes but Sam Hughes replied before half-time.

Macauley Bonne restored the two goal advantage after the break before Josh Walker fuelled Burton’s hopes of a comeback in the 76th minute.

FLEETWOOD 1 Stockley 22 BRISTOL R 2

Gibson 56, Ward 66

GRANT WARD’S secondhalf goal ensured Joey Barton enjoyed a winning return to Fleetwood.

It looked as though the Bristol Rovers boss was set for an unhappy reunion with his former club when Jayden Stockley gave the Cod Army a 22nd-minute lead.

But Rovers turned it around after the break with Lewis Gibson levelling before Grant’s 66th-minute cross drifted into the net.

PORT VALE 0 OXFORD 0

OXFORD opened a two-point gap to the drop zone after a stalemate with a Port Vale side who lost Dennis Politic to a 92nd-minute red card.

Marcus Browne had the visitors’s best chance as the U’s made it four draws on the bounce.

Port Vale had chances but their frustratio­ns were capped by Politic’s dismissal after a clash with Stephan Negru.

WYCOMBE 2 Campbell 9, Savage og 52 FOREST GREEN 0

CHEM CAMPBELL set Wycombe on course for the win that kept their play-off challenge alive and nudged Forest Green closer to the League One exit door.

Campbell’s ninthminut­e header settled home nerves before a Charlie Savage own goal after the break doubled Wycombe’s lead.

Rock-bottom Rovers are 14 points from safety with just five games remaining.
