Lincoln beat Swindon 4-1 to maintain their 100 per cent start in Sky Bet League Two.

John Akinde set the Imps on their way with a penalty after 10 minutes, with defender Michael Bostwick adding a second from a corner.

Michael Doughty pulled one back from the penalty spot before half-time, but late goals from Harry Toffolo and substitute Matt Green made sure of two wins from two.

Exeter also have maximum points after a 2-0 win at Morecambe, who have now lost both their opening league games.

A last-minute goal from substitute Ousseynou Cisse gave MK Dons, relegated from League One last season, a 1-0 home win over Bury as they too began with six points from six.

Forest Green had looked on course to keep up their own 100 per cent start before Oldham hit a second-half equaliser. Mansfield also had to settle for a point after a 2-2 draw at Yeovil, where all the goals came in the first half.

Notts County, expected to be among the promotion contenders, are still looking for their first win after losing 3-2 at Cambridge following a stoppage-time header from Barry Corr.
