Arthur Gnahoua's last-gasp winner has seen Shrewsbury increase their cushion at the summit of Sky Bet League One.

The Shrews overcame Doncaster at the Keepmoat Stadium whilst Wigan are now second after grinding out a 1-0 win at home to bottom-of-the-table Plymouth, thanks to a Nick Powell penalty seven minutes from time.

Fellow promotion hopefuls Peterborough and Bradford both lost though, with the Bantams going down 3-0 at home to Fleetwood and Grant McCann's team losing 3-2 at Oldham.

Tony Mowbray's Blackburn got back to winning ways at home to Rotherham with goals from Marcus Antonsson and Harry Chapman while Bury also won comfortably at home to Oxford.

Portsmouth striker Brett Pitman scored twice in a 3-0 victory over Bristol Rovers at Fratton Park and a deflected effort from full-back Jason Demetriou on the hour proved enough to give Southend a 1-0 home win over AFC Wimbledon.

Dan Agyei's late goal salvaged a point for Walsall at the Bescot Stadium as they drew 2-2 with Charlton.

Blackpool were held to a goalless draw at home by Rochdale and Gillingham started life after Ady Pennock with a dreary 0-0 draw at home to Scunthorpe.
