A round-up of all the action from Saturday's matches in League 1.

The League One season got underway with Gillingham hitting four goals past promotion hopefuls Sheffield United.

Nigel Adkins' first game as Sheffield United manager is one he will quickly want to forget after seeing Emanuel Osadebe, Deji Oshilaja, John Egan and Bradley Dack all score to leave his side bottom of the table.

Elsewhere, Bradford went ahead through Josh Morris' fourth-minute strike against Swindon and were handed the opportunity to go 2-0 up in the 17th minutes but Billy Clarke's penalty was saved by Lawrence Vigouroux.

Clarke's miss proved to be a turning point as Nathan Byrne hit a 16-minute hat-trick at the start of the second half before Jonathan Obika's 70th-minute goal sealed a brilliant comeback victory for Swindon, who were beaten in the play-off final last season.

Much was made of the summer departures at Chesterfield but they, and new manager Dean Saunders, began with a 3-1 home win against Barnsley.

Meanwhile, Stuart Beavon scored Burton's first ever goal at this level as last season's League Two champions overcame Scunthorpe 2-1 at the Pirelli Stadium.
