Exeter suffered their first Sky Bet League Two defeat of the season as Troy Brown's own goal and Devon Kelly-Evans' first Football League goal secured Coventry a 2-0 win.

Defender Brown turned a low cross from Jodi Jones past goalkeeper Christy Pym in the 58th minute before Kelly-Evans fired in a last-gasp second from a Jones pass.

Notts County moved to the top of the table with a convincing 4-1 win against 10-man Lincoln. Luton sit third following a 1-0 win at home to Chesterfield. The Hatters took the lead in the 53rd minute when a superb pass from substitute
Jordan Cook set Danny Hylton clear and he slotted home.

Mansfield came from behind to beat Cambridge 2-1, with a Jacob Mellis penalty and 87th-minute Danny Rose strike cancelling out Leon Legge's opener.

Danny Grainger scored twice as Carlisle romped to a 5-0 win at Crewe, with Alex defender Michael Raynes giving away a penalty and scoring an own goal against his former club.

Padraig Amond has a habit of scoring against his former club Grimsby and he scored the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win for Newport, poking the ball home from Frank Nouble's flick-on.

Jimmy Smith scored twice to earn Crawley a 2-1 win at Barnet, while new loan signing Kyle Wootton snatched a 2-1 victory for Stevenage against Morecambe, scoring the winning-goal a minute after coming off the bench.
