Leeds and Charlton moved further clear of the chasing pack as Colchester lost to Brentford.

Leeds bounced back from Sunday's FA Cup draw with Kettering to claim their fifth successive league win as Neil Kilkenny and Luciano Becchio found the target in a 2-0 victory over Oldham at Boundary Park.

Charlton kept the pressure on at the top as goals from Deon Burton and Scott Wagstaff sealed a 2-0 success away to struggling Brighton, with results elsewhere meaning they now have a four-point cushion over third place.

Colchester started the night in third place but they were unable to maintain their fine recent form as Charlie MacDonald scored the only goal of the game for Brentford at Griffin Park.

Norwich took advantage of Colchester's slip-up to climb one place courtesy of a 3-0 win at Southend, with Grant Holt bagging a brace and Korey Smith also on the scoresheet.

Fifth-placed Huddersfield were pegged back three times by bottom club Tranmere and had to settle for a point in a thrilling 3-3 draw at the Galpharm Stadium.

Milton Keynes Dons dropped out of the play-off zone after slumping to their fourth successive defeat, going down 3-2 at Millwall despite a stirring second-half fightback.

Darryl Duffy's first-half strike proved decisive at The Memorial Stadium as Bristol Rovers edged out Exeter 1-0 to rise to sixth in the standings.

Southampton moved out of the relegation zone for the first time this season, having started with a ten-point deficit, thanks to a narrow 1-0 triumph over lowly Wycombe.

Leyton Orient pulled away from relegation trouble as goals from Ryan Jarvis, Sean Thornton and Jimmy Smith clinched a 3-1 success at home to Gillingham.

Carlisle knocked Norwich out of the FA Cup at the weekend and continued their resurgence by overcoming Hartlepool 3-2 at Brunton Park.

Walsall extended their unbeaten run to five games with a comfortable 3-1 win at Yeovil and the Saddlers are now hovering just outside the play-off places.

Stockport's clash with Swindon was called off a couple of hours before kick-off due to a waterlogged pitch at Edgeley Park.
