League 1 round-up

Blackburn produced a stirring comeback to draw 2-2 with 10-man Oldham.

The visitors were on course for victory after Duckens Nazon’s firsthalf double – his first goals for the club.

But goals in eight second-half minutes from Charlie Mulgrew and Adam Armstrong levelled matters as Rovers roared back.

Oldham were reduced to 10 men after Wilfried Moimbe’s dismissal, but Rovers couldn’t capitalise.

Armand Gnanduille­t’s last-gasp strike rescued a 2-2 draw for Blackpool and denied Walsall all three points at Bloomfield Road.

The Saddlers opened the scoring midway through the first half via Joe Edwards.

Nathan Delfouneso then levelled for Blackpool, although Walsall defender Jon Guthrie thought he had snatched all three points when he poked the ball home at the back post.

But there was to be another twist when Gnanduille­t equalised for Blackpool in dramatic fashion, hammering the ball past Liam Roberts into the bottom corner.

Leaders Wigan suffered a shock 3-1 defeat at Southend. The hosts went in front after just three minutes when Michael Turner headed home a Stephen Mclaughlin free-kick.

Marc-antoine Fortune added a second, before substitute James Vaughan pulled a goal back. However, Michael Kightly scored late on to secure the points.

After Nathan Cameron scored either side of Timothee Dieng and Shay Mccartan efforts, George Miller netted a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser as bottom club Bury denied 10-man Bradford – who had Matt Kilgallon sent off – victory after six consecutiv­e defeats.
