• Alfie May scored the only goal for leaders Birmingham against Huddersfield to secure a seventh straight victory for Blues, who are now five points clear at the top.
• Wrexham, who began the evening in second spot, were beaten by Louis Thompson's early goal at Stevenage.
• Rotherham get their first away league win for almost two years, beating Cambridge 1-0.
• Steve Bruce's winning start at Blackpool was halted - they were held by 10-man Lincoln - while Bristol Rovers secured an important 3-2 victory over Charlton to end their winless run.
• Bolton were 4-2 victors at Northampton while Mansfield won 2-0 at Crawley, who appointed Rob Elliot as manager earlier today.

A wonderful brace from Wolves loanee Chem Campbell to open up his Reading set the Royals on their way before Sam Smith and Danilo Orsi traded late goals.

Burton remain winless and in the relegation zone.

Reading take six points in four days to sit two points outside of the play-off places, albeit in 12th.

• Gillingham and Walsall, who began as the top two clubs in the table, were both beaten at home.
• Gillingham lost 1-0 to Grimsby, while the Saddlers twice surrendered a lead and lost 6-2 to Fleetwood.
• Notts County won 2-0 at Carlisle to move within a point of the leaders, while Scott Lindsey's MK Dons were 5-1 winners at Harrogate.
• Accrington, who began the night bottom of League Two, remain without a league win this term after losing 2-1 at Cheltenham.

Another Albion goal would set up a thrilling finale but while they keep pushing, they don't have the quality to break through again. There will be six additional minutes for Burton to avoid a third straight loss.

Make that 3-1 at Reading's Select Car Leasing Stadium. Danilo Orsi has pulled one back from close range for Burton.

Bristol Rovers have hung on to halt their four-game losing streak to beat Charlton 3-2.

Fleetwood's glut of second-half goals leaves Bescot stunned.

At the half-time whistle, the Saddlers were leading the pack at the top of the table but the Cods came out strong with FIVE goals in the final 45 minutes to quickly swipe away the excitement at the stadium.

Ronan Coughlan and Kayden Hughes both head home with braces, Marry Virtue and Mark Helm with goals of their own and the entire Fleetwood squad with a massive win under their belts.

What a night.

There's the whistle - you cannot deny the character of Lincoln City this season.

A goal down and a man down and looking like it was over - and they've rescued it.

Defeat for Wrexham.

A 10th-minute strike from range by Louis Thompson was enough to condemn the Red Dragons to their second defeat of the campaign.

Phil Parkinson's side have now won just one of their last four and lose ground on League One leaders Birmingham.

Stevenage record back-to-back wins for the first time this season.

Steve Bruce's 100% winning record comes to an end.

Blackpool looked on course for a fifth consecutive victory after Lincoln saw Adam Jackson sent off for a second yellow and Kyle Joseph put the hosts 1-0 up four minutes later.

But Tom Hamer rescued an unlikely point for the visitors with a header from close range in the 95th minute.

The Imps preserve their unbeaten record away from home.

Six minutes of stoppage time at the Memorial Stadium and four minutes into them Charlton's Matt Godden has steered in a goal. Can Bristol Rovers hang onto their 3-2 lead?

Sam Smith has given Reading a 3-0 lead over Burton.

Grimsby hold onto the lead and take three points away to the leaders!

Gillingham boss Mark Bonner concedes his first loss to the Mariners while seven-day loanee Jackson Smith keeps a clean sheet on his debut.

The good news for the Gills is that they remain at the top of the table. For now.

Harry Clifton's 81st-minute volley sees Doncaster Rovers take home all three points from a defiant Barrow.

The visitors had a much stronger second-half to clock five shots towards goal but it was nothing compared to the 10 of their opponents and the pressure from Rovers finally paid off.

Barrow fans will feel downhearted having lost it so late in the game but the defence held well to keep the goal difference just at one.

That is a win, a clean sheet and for the first time since 1946 it's seven successive league wins for Blues!

Rotherham haven't won away for nearly two years but that is about to end as Sam Nombe has headed in while on the floor after slipping in the 92nd minute. Cambridge are staying bottom and winless.

Ben Waine fires Mansfield 2-0 up against Crawley, while Tom Eaves and Jon Guthrie have pulled two back for Northampton against Bolton - 4-2 now at Sixfields.

Exeter still lead Leyton Orient 1-0 but are down to 10 men after Caleb Watts hacks down an Orient man in midfield. That's the first red card of his career.

Birmingham will remain top of League One tonight and they go five points clear!

Blues wasted a few good chances but they got the all important goal through Alfie May after he was teed up by Jay Stansfield in the 63rd minute.

That's now SEVEN wins in a row for Birmingham and it marks their best winning run since 1946.

Remarkable.
