Accrington are up to second following a crushing 4-1 win at home to Barnet.

Stanley took a 35th-minute lead when the ball fell to Sean McConville and he smashed into the top corner. Barnet’s Jamal Campbell-Ryce missed a penalty before Accrington doubled their lead in the 51st minute when Jordan Clark fired home his third goal in as many games.

Campbell-Ryce reduced the deficit for Barnet when he slammed home three minutes later, but two goals in six minutes from Billy Kee and Kayden Jackson eased Accrington to victory.

Keanu Marsh-Brown and Scott Laird sealed a 2-0 success for Forest Green against Morecambe.

Kristian Dennis snatched a point for Chesterfie­ld in a 2-2 draw at home to Carlisle, who had gone 2-1 up thanks to goals from Danny Grainger and Richie Bennett after Jak McCourt’s opener for the hosts.

Luton, who topped the table at the start of play, were beaten 3-0 at home by Coventry.

Marc McNulty opened the scoring for the Sky Blues after 17 minutes with a towering header from Jodi Jones’ cross – Coventry’s first goal in five league games.

Glen Rea was sent off in the closing stages for a last-man challenge on McNulty and the visitors took full advantage with Jordan Shipley adding a stunning second from distance and Duckens Nazon’s deflected strike sealing the points.

Cheltenham came from 3-1 down to take a point in a 3-3 draw at Wycombe, while the games between Grimsby and Cambridge and Lincoln and Crawley ended goalless.
