Posh lost top spot after last week's first league defeat of the season to Portsmouth and were forced to come from behind at Priestfield Stadium.

Jamie Walker gave Steve Evans' side an interval lead before Gillingham hit back through Callum Reilly and Mark Byrne early in the second half. Siriki Dembele equalised for the visitors after the break and then set up Ivan Toney, with Callum Cooke adding a late fourth.

Portsmouth relinquished top spot after they were held 2-2 by Wycombe at Fratton Park.

Barnsley's home game against Burton was postponed after a medical emergency had delayed the kick-off at Oakwell.
