LEAGUE ONE
PORTSMOUTH’S promotion push was given a timely boost as Omar Bogle and Jamal Lowe scored to give them a 2-0 home victory over
SCUNTHORPE which sealed back-to-back league wins for the first time since early January. Pompey are four points off second-placed Barnsley and manager Kenny Jackett (right) said: ‘We have to keep the pressure on. There are 24 more points to play for and a lot can happen.’
SUNDERLAND are right in it, too, after a 2-1 win at home to
WALSALL took them to within two points of second. Lee Cattermole and £4million signing Will Grigg were on the scoresheet after Josh Gordon had given the visitors an early lead in front of 34,647 fans. Leaders LUTON were surprisingly held 2-2 at home by struggling GILLINGHAM. Danny Hylton and Jack Stacey twice put Luton ahead but Luke O’Neill’s fine free-kick salvaged a point for the Gills.
BRADFORD’S slide continued, beaten 1-0 at
OXFORD by Jamie Mackie’s last-gasp goal.
