SHREWSBURY 2 PORTSMOUTH 0 SHREWSBURY boss Paul Hurst insists his side ‘dominated for large parts’ to beat Portsmouth.

WIMBLEDON 2 BRADFORD 1 WIMBLEDON claimed their first home league win since October thanks to goals from Cody McDonald and Lyle Taylor, separated by Paul Taylor’s effort for Bradford. SCUNTHORPE 3 SOUTHEND 1 SCUNTHORPE came from behind to claim a first win in three league matches. Jason Demetriou put Southend in front but Scunthorpe came back through Kevin van Veen, Conor Townsend and a Michael Turner own-goal. BRISTOL R 0 DONCASTER 1 DARREN FERGUSON’S penalty premonitio­n paid off. He said: ‘I had a feeling we would be awarded one so I told the lads to decide who would take it, and Niall Mason put his hand up.’ ROTHERHAM 2 MK DONS 1 ROTHERHAM gave their flagging play-off hopes a boost when they came from behind to beat MK Dons. Chuks Aneke got the visitors off to a flying start, but Rotherham hit back with goals from Semi Ajayi and Will Vaulks. OXFORD 0 WIGAN 7 WILL GRIGG (right) hit a hat-trick as leaders Wigan racked up a club record win and manager Paul Cook said: ‘Everything has gone for us. Our players deserve all the plaudits they will get. Everything about the game in terms of how we played is how I like us to be. We were strong and did everything well.’ Nick Powell, Gavin Massey and two goals from Max Power completed the rout of sorry Oxford. CHARLTON 1 BLACKPOOL 1 A LAST-GASP goal from Armand Gnanduille­t earned a point for Blackpool after Joe Aribo’s early effort had looked enough for Charlton. Home manager Karl Robinson called referee John Busby’s performanc­e ‘atrocious’. ROCHDALE 1 WALSALL 1 MAZ KOUHYAR’S injury-time goal gave Walsall a point after Rochdale had lead through Calvin Andrew. Joe Thompson, who has fought off cancer for a second time, came on as a sub.
