HIGH-FLYING Fleetwood heaped more pressure on Coventry boss Tony Mowbray as his side suffered a 2-0 defeat.

Coventry bossed much of the opening spell, but failed to score and were caught on the break for Fleetwood’s opener after 58 minutes.

Kyle Dempsey hit a delightful diagonal pass to pick out Chris Long, who showed clever feet before slotting under keeper Reice Charles-Cook.

The hosts didn’t take long to score again, David Ball mopping up a loose pass and releasing sub Martyn Woolford, who blasted home.

Bolton maintained their unbeaten start, but were frustrated in a 1-1 home draw against Southend. A debut goal from Crystal Palace loanee Keshi Anderson rescued a point for hosts, after Harry Kyprianou’s volley gave the Shrimpers an early lead. Shrewsbury came from behind to win 3-2 at Oldham. The Latics went in front via Josh Law’s free-kick, before Junior Brown’s header brought the Shrews level.

The visitors struck again via Ivan Toney’s penalty and made it 3-1 through Joe Riley.

Oldham’s plight deepened when Ousmane Fane was sent off, but they pulled a goal back via Lee Erwin.

James Vaughan scored twice on his Gigg Lane debut as Bury eased to a 4-1 victory at home to Port Vale.

Jacob Mellis and Hallam Hope scored either side of Vaughan’s brace, while Vale’s consolatio­n came via Nathan Smith.

Dominic Poleon’s lastgasp goal secured AFC Wimbledon their firstever League One victory as they beat Chesterfie­ld 2-1 at Kingsmeado­w.

Darius Charles’ owngoal put the Dons on the back foot, but Paul Robinson equalised, before Poleon’s winner.
