Rotherham saw their lead at the top of Sky Bet League One trimmed to seven points after being held to a goalless draw at Shrewsbury.

The Millers extended their unbeaten run to 10 games, but only after an impressive second-half effort from goalkeeper Josh Vickers to secure another clean sheet.

Wigan made the most of their opportunity with a 2-0 home win over Fleetwood, as both sides finished with 10 men.

Will Keane put the Latics ahead from the penalty spot in the 37th minute following a handball and James McClean doubled the lead just before half-time.

Midfielder McClean, though, was sent off in stoppage time for a clash with Fleetwood substitute Joe Garner, who was also shown a red card.

Oxford saw their own promotion drive dented after in-form Portsmouth came from behind to win 3-2 at Fratton Park.

The U’s, seeking a fourth straight win, took a third-minute lead through a fine individual effort from Marcus Browne.

Pompey struck twice in the space of three minutes just before the break to turn the match around.

Sean Raggett headed an equaliser before George Hirst put them ahead following a swift counter-attack in first-half stoppage time.

Hayden Carter added a third on the hour, with Oxford defender Luke McNally reducing the deficit in the 81st minute, but Pompey saw out the closing stages to extend their unbeaten run to five games.

Barry Bannan scored twice as Sheffield Wednesday thrashed Burton 5-2 to sit fifth.

Liam Palmer put the Owls ahead in the 13th minute with captain Bannan adding a second.

The Brewers started a fightback through a 20-yard effort from Adlene Guedioura on the half-hour, with the match halted shortly before half-time following a medical emergency in the North Stand.

Oumar Niasse equalised early in the second half, but Wednesday regained control with two quick goals from Callum Paterson and Marvin Johnson before Bannan wrapped things up with three minutes left.

Anis Mehmeti scored twice as Wycombe beat Cambridge 3-0 to close up on the top six.

Mehmeti headed the Chairboys in front after 11 minutes.

The Albanian midfielder then turned provider for Garath McCleary to make it 2-0 after a quarter-of-an-hour before grabbing his second with five minutes left.

Sky Bet League Two

Forest Green maintained their 10-point lead over Northampton at the top of the League Two table as both teams were held to draws on Tuesday.

Forest Green fell behind in only the third minute against fellow promotion chasers Newport to Finn Azaz’s effort but levelled 10 minutes after half-time through Jack Aitchison to earn a 1-1 draw.

Newport ended the match with 10 men after James Clarke was shown a second yellow card six minutes from time.

Northampton’s game with Walsall ended in the same scoreline but followed the opposite pattern, with Mitch Pinnock giving the Cobblers the lead in only the fourth minute but Conor Wilkinson levelling for Walsall in the 50th minute.

At the bottom, Oldham were unable to climb out of the relegation zone but did claim another point in a 2-2 draw with Crawley.

All the goals came in a frantic period midway through the second half.

Hallam Hope put Oldham ahead in the 56th minute but a quickfire double from Ashley Nadesan turned the tables before Christopher Missilou drew the Latics level in the 70th minute.

Carlisle made it back-to-back victories in their bid to beat the drop, Omari Patrick and Tobi Sho-Silva scoring in their 2-0 success over Rochdale.

Colchester also appeared on the way to three points but had to settle for a 2-2 draw with Leyton Orient, who picked up just their third point in 12 games.

Orient took the lead through Ruel Sotiriou in the 66th minute but nine minutes later Myles Kenlock drew Colchester level and Owura Edwards put them ahead only for Ethan Coleman to level three minutes into stoppage time.

In-form Bristol Rovers finally ended 10-man Barrow’s resistance as Antony Evans’ long-range strike earned them a 1-0 victory over the Cumbrians, who had Niall Canavan sent off in the 32nd minute.

Harrogate and Port Vale had to settle for a point each in a 1-1 draw, Ryan Edmondson cancelling out Alex Pattison’s opener.
