Leaders Exeter grab Pierce of the action
PIERCE SWEENEY sent Exeter top of the table as they beat Carlisle 1-0.
Sweeney (below) broke the deadlock in the 49th minute and with Notts County drawing 1-1 with Forest Green, it nudged the Grecians two points clear.
Robert Milsom salvaged a point for County deep into stoppage time after Omar Bugiel had put the visitors ahead.
First-half goals by James Collins and Danny Hylton helped Luton to a 2-0 win at Accrington.
Teenage QPR loanee Eberechi Eze was the star of the show as league top scorers Wycombe maintained their excellent away form with a 3-1 win over Cambridge.
Eze, 19, netted his first senior goal moments after half-time and then doubled his tally in the 57th minute with another fine finish.
Medy Elito replied with a penalty for Cambride, who had Leon Legge sent off, before Josh Umerah sealed Wanderers’ win.
Neil Aspin saw Port Vale take the lead in his first game as manager but they slipped to a 2-1 home defeat to Grimsby.
Tom Pope’s opener was cancelled out by Sam Jones before Siriki Dembele clinched it. Chesterfield were beaten
2-1 by Lincoln.
Michael Bostwick put the Imps ahead in the 17th minute before an Andy Kellett own-goal eight minutes later. Kristian Dennis netted from the spot late on.
Crawley gained a 1-0 victory over Morecambe to climb to 17th in the table, Billy Clifford scoring in the 18th minute. Morecambe’s cause was not helped by Kevin Ellison’s dismissal
11 minutes before half-time. Sean Murray and Mikael Mandron both scored in the first half as Colchester beat Mansfield 2-0 while Newport defeated Yeovil by the same score with goals from Padraig Amond and Joss Labadie either side of half-time.
Danny Wright made amends for missing a penalty by scoring a very later winner for Cheltenham in a 2-1 victory over Swindon.
Jordan Bowery struck deep into stoppage time to earn Crewe a 1-0 win over Stevenage, who missed a first-half penalty, while Barnet and Coventry drew 0-0.
