LEAguE 1 RouNd-up

-

AMARI’I BELL’S injurytime equaliser extended Fleetwood’s unbeaten run to 13 matches as they secured a 1-1 draw against play-off hopefuls Charlton at The Valley.

Despite dominating early possession, it was in fact the visitors who had the better of the chances in the first half.

Striker Devante Cole saw two efforts denied by Addicks’ stopper Declan Rudd, before the Norwich loanee tipped over a Cian Bolger header.

However, it was Karl Robinson’s men who took the lead through a closerange Ricky Holmes strike.

After the break, Fleetwood came close as Rudd denied Cole again.

Uwe Rosler’s men continued to press forward, with sub David Ball clipping an effort on to the roof of the net.

Fleetwood took advantage of 10 minutes’ worth of added-on time, with Bell firing home Kyle Dempsey’s corner in the 94th minute. Moments later, Charlton were reduced to 10 men as Nathan Byrne saw red for a foul on Ball, before Ashley Hunter struck a post as the visitors nearly snatched a winner.

Bolton were held to a 1-1 draw at MK Dons as their winless run extended to four games in League One.

Kieran Agard’s third goal in as many outings midway through the second-half cancelled out Jay Spearing’s opener for Bolton. His free-kick flew untouched past through a crowded penalty area before nestling in the bottom corner.

Agard’s emphatic strike from the edge of the box flew past Ben Alnwick to rescue MK point.

Sheffield United return to the top of the table with a 4-0 hammering of AFC Wimbledon, with new signing James Hanson scoring on his debut.

Previous leaders Scunthorpe slumped to a 3-1 loss at Southend.
