League One round-up

Southend United have been promoted to The Championship after drawing at Swansea City while Swindon Town have been relegated.

The Shrimpers twice fought back from a goal down to claim a 2-2 draw at Swansea, who remain in sixth place.

Freddy Eastwood (pictured) was the hero for Southend with a brace, cancelling out two Rory Fallon goals for The Swans.

Hartlepool salvaged a late 1-1 draw at Brentford, a result that promoted Southend, but leaves the North East side with work to do to avoid the drop.

Michael Nelson's last-gasp goal cancelled out Kevin O'Connor's but Hartlepool still need a win in their final game of the season to possibly stay up.

Swindon required a win at Bristol City to keep alive their faint survival hopes, although they could only manage a 1-1 draw and are now relegated.

Things looked good when ex-Robin Aaron Brown opened the scoring only for David Cotterill to snatch a share of the spoils.

MK Dons go into the final game of the season two points behind Rotherham after both sides lost on Saturday afternoon.

The pair meet in the final game of the season in what appears an intriguing encounter, with Hartlepool also in the frame for 20th place.

MK Dons looked to have salvaged a late point against Tranmere when Izale McLeod cancelled out David Partridge's own goal, but Delroy Facey stole an injury-time winner.

Rotherham could have saved themselves at Colchester, but an own goal from Shaun Barker and second half effort from Mark Yeates gave the home side the points.

Yeovil ensured League One safety after coming from a goal down to claim a 2-1 success at Huddersfield Town.

David Graham slotted The Terriers ahead, but a second half brace from Phil Jevons secured the points for The Glovers.

Nottingham Forest remain behind Swansea on goal difference after being held by Bournemouth at The City Ground.

Steve Fletcher put the visitors ahead just after half time only for Nathan Tyson to secure a share of the spoils.

Veteran Steve Claridge gave Walsall's fans something to cheer in a disappointing campaign after his goal gave The Saddlers a 1-0 win at Gillingham.

Billy Sharp's injury-time goal lifted Scunthorpe over Blackpool while Bradford City's trip to Barnsley finished goalless.

Oldham have missed out on the play-offs after James Coppinger's goal secured a 1-0 win for Doncaster over The Latics.

George Pilkington netted a brace as Port Vale beat Chesterfield 3-1 at Vale Park.

Jamie O'Hara fired the visitors ahead, but Pilkington put the home side in front before Michael Cummins added the icing on the cake late on.
