JAMAL LOWE struck twice as Portsmouth kept up their 100 per cent start to the season.

They beat Oxford 4-1 with Gareth Evans also on target. Rob Dickie and Pompey’s Jack Whatmough each scored an own goal.

Barnsley are third on seven points after they were held to a

0-0 draw by AFC Wimbledon.

Morgan Ferrier and Isaiah Osbourne scored for Walsall, who are fourth, after they beat Gillingham 2-1.

Tom Eaves reduced the deficit for the Gills but it was not enough to save their perfect start to the campaign.

Fleetwood were denied a maiden home win under Joey Barton as Ian Henderson headed in his second goal of the match deep into stoppage time to secure Rochdale a 2-2 draw at Highbury Stadium.

Ched Evans had put the Cod Army 2-1 up in the

56th minute after Henderson’s penalty had cancelled out a Jim McNulty own goal.

Burton registered their first points since dropping into the division as Liam Boyce’s strike secured them a 1-0 home win over Doncaster, who had won both of their previous two games.

Bristol Rovers also got off the mark with a 2-1 win at Wycombe, with James Clarke and Tony Craig scoring early on for the Pirates and Scott Kashket hitting back for the home side in the final

10 minutes. A 0-0 draw with Blackpool earned Shrewsbury their first point of the season. Elsewhere, Jordan Clark’s effort earned Accrington a 1-1 draw at home against Charlton, who had taken the lead through Karlan Grant.
