LEAGUE 1 ROUND-UP

-

DEVANTE COLE’S brace earned Fleetwood a 2-0 win against AFC Wimbledon, while Shrewsbury came out on top in a five-goal thriller at home to Rochdale that included three penalties. Steven Davies slotted home two of them for the visitors, but in between Shrews struck twice through Shaun Whalley’s spot-kick and Carlton Morris’ effort.

Stefan Payne’s 74th-minute goal ended up deciding the contest, the hosts running out 3-2 victors.

Bradford dropped their first points after going down 1-0 at home to Blackburn, for whom Dominic Samuel struck the only goal just after half-time.

Wigan, who now boast four successive wins in all competitio­ns this season, took over top spot from Oxford after beating local rivals Oldham 2-0 thanks to early goals from Ivan Toney and Michael Jacobs.

At the other end of the table, Bristol Rovers claimed a 3-2 win at Bury.

All the goals came in the second half, with a Tom Lockyer header and a Billy Bodin brace seemingly putting Rovers on course for a comfortabl­e win, only for Bury to cause a late stir with stoppage-time strikes from Jermaine Beckford and Nick Ajose.

Blackpool fought back from a goal down three times to draw 3-3 at Doncaster. The home side would have climbed into the top six with a victory and looked on course to do that when taking the lead through Ryan Allsop’s own goal and efforts from John Marquis and Alfie May.

But Blackpool battled back quickly each time, netting through Sean Longstaff, Oliver Turton and Callum Cooke.

Osman Sow earned MK Dons a 1-0 win over Gillingham, for whom Josh Wright missed a late penalty.
