League 1 Round-up
WHILE Fleetwood boss Uwe Rosler conceded referee Carl Boyeson made the right call to award a first penalty against his team, he was fuming at the decision to give the second that handed Millwall a 2-1 victory.
Lee Gregory netted from the spot in either half and, though Ashley Hunter’s 65th-minute effort made for a nervier finale than it should have been, Millwall held firm.
But Rosler could not hide his disappointment at Boyeson’s second decision in a game he felt his team should have won.
He said: “I have no complaints about the first penalty, it was a terrible one to give away.
“But I do not think the second should have been awarded. I don’t think it should have been given.
“I asked the referee what he saw and he said he had just watched the ball. We were beaten by experience. We were not capable of winning the first ball against (Steve) Morison.
“That was the key for us because we didn’t deal with the first header. Millwall were there for the taking.”
Extending their lead at the top to five points were Scunthorpe, who had Josh Morris, Kevin van Veen and Sam Mantom to thank for scoring the goals that downed Chesterfield 3-0.
Billy Sharp’s brace at Bradford was not enough to propel Sheffield United above their hosts and into the promotion places as the Bantams pushed back to clinch a 3-3 draw.
Sharp made it four goals in two games either side of Billy Clarke’s effort for Bradford, but Jordy Hiwula and Timothee Dieng gave City the upper hand, before Chris Basham’s leveller.
AFC Wimbledon burst into the play-off places as Tom Elliott’s struck in their 1-0 win over Peterborough 1-0.
