LEAGUE ONE
SCUNTHORPE 3 PORT VALE 2
SUBSTITUTE Tom Hopper (right) came off the bench to fire Scunthorpe back to the top of the table as they twice came from behind. Tyler Walker and JJ Hooper scored for Port Vale, but Scunthorpe levelled each time thanks to a Josh Morris penalty and a goal on his full debut for Ivan Toney before Hopper sealed the win. Scunthorpe manager Graham Alexander insisted: ‘We won’t get carried away.’
BOLTON 1 CHARLTON 2
CHARLTON came from behind to win with 10 men. Patrick Bauer and Nathan Byrne scored after Zach Clough’s free-kick for Bolton, despite Lewis Page’s early red card. Charlton boss Karl Robinson admitted: ‘It was definitely a red.’
PETERBOROUGH 0 MK DONS 4
MK DONS did a second-half demolition job on Peterborough with goals from Harvey Barnes, Kieran Agard and two from Chuks Aneke. Peterborough boss Grant McCann labelled it an ‘embarrassment’.
BRISTOL R 1 SWINDON 0
BILLY BODIN scored the only goal, but 19-year-old debut centre-back Ryan Sweeney earned the plaudits from Bristol Rovers boss Darrell Clarke after the derby win over Swindon. Clarke said: ‘I thought Ryan didn’t put a foot wrong.’
BURY 3 WALSALL 3
WALSALL fought back from 2-0 down only to concede a stoppagetime equaliser. James Vaughan (right) and Reece Brown had Bury in charge, but an Erhun Oztumer goal and two from Jason McCarthy for Walsall turned it round before Tom Soares grabbed a point for Bury with his 17th goal of the season. Bury manager Chris Brass said: ‘We’re a little frustrated but, in the cold light of day, we are quite happy we got something at the end. We were very comfortable until a little bit of madness.’
OLDHAM 1 BRADFORD 2
BRADFORD stayed in the play-off hunt thanks to goals from Romain Vincelot and Rory McCardle. Brian Wilson’s goal for Oldham was his first for more than six years. Bradford boss Stuart McCall said: ‘We played some really good stuff.’
GILLINGHAM 1 SHREWSBURY 1
ALEX RODMAN’S first goal for Shrewsbury rescued a point for Paul Hurst’s side after Deji Oshilaja had put Gillingham in front. Delighted Shrewsbury manager Paul Hurst said: ‘It’s a good point.’
NORTHAMPTON 3 COVENTRY 0
A SECOND-HALF hat-trick from Keshi Anderson earned Northampton a much-needed win. The game was held up several times as flares were thrown on to the pitch and Coventry fans ran on to protest at their owners.
FLEETWOOD 1 SOUTHEND 1
A LATE piledriver from David Ball earned a point for Fleetwood and extended their club record-busting unbeaten league run to 12 games. It came after Southend had dominated the first hour and taken the lead through Anthony Wordsworth (above). And Uwe Rosler insists his Fleetwood side will not ease up. He said: ‘Now we will be sitting together to set ourselves new targets, ambitious targets.’
