And with that, it’s time to wrap it up. Much more to come tomorrow, and across the weekend. Bye!
Here’s PA Media’s Leagues One and Two roundup:
Lincoln’s promotion party is still on hold despite a dramatic and controversial 1-0 victory over AFC Wimbledon.
The runaway League One leaders needed to win and hope Bolton and Stockport dropped points to seal their place in the second tier for the first time since 1961. They kept their side of the bargain, but only after a Dom Jefferies cross clearly hit the arm of Ryley Towler before Ryan One applied the finish two minutes from time.
Unfortunately for the Imps, Bolton beat Plymouth 2-1 and Stockport sank Wycombe 3-0 to keep the champagne on ice for a few more days at least.
Bolton had John McAtee sent off for an elbow on Alex Mitchell before half-time but took the lead through a penalty from Celtic loanee Johnny Kenny. Ronan Curtis levelled for Argyle, but an own goal from Malachi Boateng gave the Trotters the victory.
Stockport’s win was far more straightforward thanks to goals from Odin Bailey, Isaac Olaofe and Adama Sidibeh.
Play-off hopefuls Bradford beat Northampton 1-0 thanks to an early Stephen Humphrys header and Lasse Sorensen cancelled out Lewis Wing’s penalty in added time to earn Huddersfield a 1-1 draw with Reading.
Goals from Jake Richards and Jordan Clark gave Luton a 2-1 win over Peterborough, who replied through Jimmy-Jay Morgan but saw Harry Leonard miss a penalty. Mansfield earned a 2-0 win at Doncaster, while struggling Rotherham had Daniel Gore sent off in a goalless draw with Stevenage.
Tom Bloxham fired Blackpool to a 1-0 win over Exeter, who remain in the drop zone, and David McGoldrick’s last-gasp equaliser secured a 1-1 draw for Barnsley at Burton.

In League Two, leaders Bromley needed an equaliser 11 minutes into stoppage time to snatch a 2-2 draw at 10-man Barnet. They led through Nicke Kabamba, but Phillip Chinedu equalised before Barnet had Danny Collinge sent off. Kabongo Tshimanga’s penalty put Barnet ahead, but George Evans struck at the death to seal a point.
MK Dons, in second, drew 0-0 with lowly Barrow, while fourth-placed Notts County lost a crazy match at Salford 2-1, despite it being goalless two minutes into added time. Ryan Graydon put Salford ahead, Luke Brown equalised three minutes later, only for Matt Butcher to win it six minutes into stoppage time.
Crawley won an edgy relegation battle 2-0 at Newport thanks to two goals in three minutes from Harry McKirdy. Tranmere were dragged back into trouble after a 1-0 defeat at Shrewsbury, with Sam Stubbs scoring the only goal. They are only three points above rock-bottom Harrogate, who won 3-1 at Grimsby courtesy of goals from Tobias Brenan, Jack Evans and Bryn Morris.
Joe Quigley fired Bristol Rovers to a 1-0 win over Fleetwood, William Dickson’s goal saw Chesterfield beat Cheltenham 1-0, Oldham were 3-1 winners at Colchester, Accrington beat Crewe 2-0 and Gillingham drew 2-2 at Walsall.
