Leaders Leyton Orient fell to defeat at Gillingham, but managerless Port Vale were victorious.

Leeds United needed a very late winner to see off Oldham Althletic, while there were also victories for Millwall, Swansea City and Walsall on Tuesday.

But bottom side Bournemouth suffered their sixth defeat of the season at the hands of Brighton & Hove Albion.

Bournemouth 0 Brighton 2

Bournemouth remain rooted to the bottom of the table after a 2-0 defeat at home against Brighton & Hove Albion. Second-half goals from Dean Cox (46) and Bas Savage (66) secured victory for The Seagulls.

Doncaster 2 Walsall 3

Walsall came out on top in a five-goal thriller at The Keepmoat Stadium. Matthew Mills (17) and Lewis Guy (40) twice had Doncaster Rovers ahead, only for the home side to be pegged back firstly by Daniel Fox (28) and then Mark Bradley (66). Tommy Mooney made no mistake from the penalty spot in the 71st minute to score the winner and Doncaster ended the game with ten men after Guy's late sending off.

Gillingham 3 Leyton Orient 1

David Graham scored twice (25 & 50) as Leyton Orient lost 3-1 to Gillingham, whose other goal came from Barry Cogan on 67 minutes. Jabo Ibehre did pull one back for The O's but they were unable to mount a comeback.

Port Vale 3 Cheltenham 0

Port Vale picked up their first win since Martin Foyle's departure as goals from David McGoldrick (21), Paul Edwards (73) and Craig Rocastle (88) gave them a much-needed win against Cheltenham Town. Both sides were reduced to ten men after Jason Talbot and Andy Lindegaard were sent off following an incident in the 23rd minute.
