LEAguE 1 RouNd-up

BOLTON took another step towards promotion to the Championship with a 2-0 win at Port Vale in a game marred by crowd trouble.

David Wheater and Gary Madine secured all three points for the Trotters, whose fans brought play to a halt with a pitch invasion following the first goal.

Wanderers took the lead after 66 minutes when Wheater rose highest to nod in Filipe Morais’ free-kick.

In the aftermath, referee Carl Boyeson, who sent off Riginio Cicilia for the hosts in the first-half, took the players off the pitch for 10 minutes when clashes broke out between both sets of fans.

Madine then doubled the lead, sliding home from Morais’ pass in the 80th minute.

The home side had played for an hour with 10 men when Cicilia was given his marching orders after 33 minutes, picking up a second yellow for handball following a foul on Madine eight minutes earlier.

Kyle Dempsey’s injurytime winner kept Fleetwood’s automatic hopes alive after they twice came from behind to win 3-2 at relegationthreatened Gillingham.

Goals from Zesh Rehman and Rory Donnelly looked to have secured the Gills survival, but they were cancelled out by second-half strikes from Ashley Hunter and David Ball, before Dempsey’s winner.

Gills defender Rehman netted with a header from a Lee Martin corner to put the host in front.

Town struck back after a defensive mishap saw Hunter drill a low shot into Tomas Holy’s bottom corner.

Donnelly then restored his side’s lead on the hour from a deflected free-kick, but Town hit back through Ball in the 79th minute, before Dempsey’s firsttime strike with seconds remaining.
