Jacobs leveller puts Latics on the brink

WIGAN are on the verge of sealing the League One title after a home draw with AFC Wimbledon.

The Latics, who have already secured automatic promotion, came from behind to earn a point as Michael Jacobs’ strike cancelled out Joe Pigott’s opener.

That leaves Paul Cook’s men two points ahead of Blackburn with just one game to play after Rovers were beaten 1-0 at Charlton.

Tony Mowbray’s men have also clinched an instant return to the second tier but they were downed by Jason Pearce’s first-half goal for the Addicks, who moved closer to sealing a play-off place.

Managerless MK Dons will be playing in League Two for the first time in a decade next season after their relegation was confirmed with a 2-0 loss at home to Scunthorpe, with Rory McCardle and Ivan Toney on target to send them down.

The win for Scunny means their midweek clash with Plymouth will be vital in the chase for the play-offs after Argyle’s win over Rotherham.

The Millers are guaranteed fourth spot and they led through Richie Towell, only for Joel Grant and Graham Carey to win it after the break.

Walsall claimed a dramatic 1-0 win to put them in touching distance of safety and effectively relegates Northampton.

George Dobson (below) bagged an injury-time winner to move the Saddlers three points clear of the drop zone with a game in hand on the bottom five teams in the table. Rochdale are back in to the bottom four after they were beaten 2-1 at Oxford, despite having led through Brad Inman’s opener. Oldham are a point clear of Dale after a 0-0 draw with Doncaster and their fate will be decided on the final day, where they play Northampton, who will need to win by nine goals.

Shrewsbury drew 1-1 with Blackpool, while already-relegated Bury beat Portsmouth 1-0.

Peterborough enjoyed a 2-0 success over Fleetwood, with Jack Marriott scoring his 27th league goal of the season, while two late goals saw Bristol Rovers and Gillingham play out a 1-1 stalemate.
