Gillingham moved top of League Two with a 2-1 win over 10-man Morecambe at Priestfield.
Connor Mahoney scored what proved the winner after 23 minutes after the Shrimps' Michael Mellon had cancelled out George Lapslie's opener. Mellon was sent off for a second bookable offence 14 minutes from time.
Unbeaten Swindon sit third after a 2-0 win over Walsall. Charlie Austin opened the scoring after just two minutes at the County Ground and Rushian Hepburn-Murphy made victory secure late on after Walsall had Tom Knowles dismissed.
Wrexham continued their strong start to life back in the league with a convincing 3-0 win over Grimsby at the Racecourse. Ollie Palmer, Will Boyle and Elliot Lee were on target.
At the opposite end of the table, Doncaster moved off the bottom as they claimed their first win of the campaign with a last-gasp 2-1 success at Forest Green.
Ben Close claimed the winner in injury time after Jordan Moore-Taylor had equalised for Rovers in the 84th minute.
Sutton fell to the bottom as they suffered their seventh successive league defeat, losing 4-1 at Accrington, for whom Tommy Leigh scored twice.
Tranmere were beaten 3-2 in a dramatic finish at Crawley in their first match since sacking Ian Dawes as manager and appointing Nigel Adkins as interim boss. Klaidi Lolos scored Crawley's winner deep into injury time.
Elsewhere, AFC Wimbledon and Crewe drew 2-2, while Bradford and Harrogate finished 1-1. As did Colchester and Mansfield, and Newport and Barrow.
Stockport won 2-1 at MK Dons.
