CHARLTON 0 SCUNTHORPE 1

IVAN TONEY struck the only goal as Scunthorpe moved into the play-off places at the expense of opponents Charlton. Scunthorpe boss Nick Daws called it ‘a big three points’, adding: ‘If Charlton had won, and we knew that was possible because Lee Bowyer has got them firing, it would have given them a huge boost.’

WIGAN 0 ROTHERHAM 0

WIGAN boss Paul Cook had no complaints about the goalless draw against Rotherham as his team stayed top. He said: ‘I t was a fair result, because they were excellent, especially early on. The easy thing is to be negative towards your own team, and that can mean you forget to give credit to the opposition.’ Wigan striker Will Grigg (above) had two good chances to add to his 24 goals, but was first thwarted by goalkeeper Marek Rodak and then headed wide.

PETERBORO 0 ROCHDALE 1

BURY 2 NORTHAMPTO­N 3

BURY’S three-year stay in League One is over after they lost at home to Northampto­n, and manager Ryan Lowe admitted: ‘I’m disappoint­ed, I’m upset and, to be honest, I’m feeling a bit distraught by it all.’ Ash Taylor (2) and Sam Hoskins scored for Northampto­n, with Peter Clarke and Danny Mayor replying.

OXFORD 2 SOUTHEND 0

MK DONS 1 DONCASTER 2

JOHN MARQUIS scored twice as Doncaster came from behind to win and leave MK Dons four points adrift of safety. Ike Ugbo had put the home side in front.

PLYMOUTH 0 PORTSMOUTH 0
