Saturday 17 October 2015 19:38, UK
Reuben Reid's solitary strike was enough to earn Plymouth a 1-0 home win against Accrington and keep them top of League Two.
Striker Reid fired into the top corner in the 64th minute as Plymouth secured a fifth straight win in all competitions.
Portsmouth stay three points behind in second place after Matt Tubbs fired his fourth goal in two matches to secure them a 1-0 win at bottom club Newport, who remain without a win this season at Rodney Parade.
There was a bizarre incident in the game when officials had to ask over the tannoy if there was a qualified referee in the crowd. The ref James Adcock was injured, so the fourth official, Wayne Barratt, took over. A suitably qualified fan was eventually found to take the fourth official's place.
Oxford lost ground on the top two as their 10 men were pegged back in a 2-2 draw at Leyton Orient, for whom Scott Kashket fired a stoppage-time equaliser.
Oxford were in control thanks to first-half goals from Kemar Roofe and John Lundstram, but Jay Simpson pulled one back for Orient in the 64th minute before visiting midfielder Jordan Graham was sent off for two yellow cards soon after.
Bristol Rovers striker Matty Taylor headed a stoppage-time winner to clinch a 2-1 victory at Mansfield, where three players were sent off.
Jermaine Easter had fired Rovers in front after a quarter of an hour, but was shown a straight red card for his part in a melee in first-half stoppage time.
Mansfield defender Krystian Pearce was sent off in the 60th minute for his foul on Ellis Harrison and Nicky Hunt was shown a second yellow card 17 minutes later. Ryan Tafazolli fired the Stags' equaliser four minutes later, but Taylor headed in the winner in the 98th minute.
Stevenage's Jesse Joronen became the first goalkeeper to score in the Football League this season as his side won 2-1 against Wycombe.
Joronen's long punt forward in the 10th minute deceived his opposite number and bounced into the net.
Armand Gnanduillet doubled the lead with a second half header and, although Max Kretzschmar replied for Wycombe, Teddy Sheringham's side held on for their first win in seven league matches.
Goals from Harrison Dunk and Barry Corr either side of half-time set Cambridge on their way to a 2-1 home win against 10-man Northampton.
Marc Richards pulled one back for Northampton from the penalty spot in the 59th minute before midfielder Lawson D'Ath was shown a straight red card in the 76th minute.
Alex Gilliead, on loan from Newcastle, fired his first goal for Carlisle in the 77th minute to clinch his side a 1-0 home win against Exeter.
Crawley secured back-to-back home wins with a 2-1 victory over Luton, who had gone ahead after half an hour through a header from defender Cameron McGeehan.
Rhys Murphy, however, headed the equaliser in the second half and Matt Harrold struck an 81st-minute winner.
Shaun Miller scored his sixth goal in four matches as his double helped Morecambe secure a 5-2 win at AFC Wimbledon.
Miller converted an early penalty to cancel out Andy Barcham's third-minute opener for Wimbledon and struck again in the 11th minute before Alan Goodall headed Morecambe's third on the stroke of half-time.
Adebayo Akinfenwa pulled one back for the Dons soon after the break, but Tom Barkhuizen restored Morecambe's two-goal advantage and Paul Mullin added a fifth in the 90th minute.
Notts County beat Yeovil 2-0 at Meadow Lane courtesy of Stanley Aborah's 55th-minute free-kick and Izale McLeod's 61st-minute strike.
Second-half goals from John Akinde, Michael Gash and Josh Clarke secured Barnet a 3-1 home win against York, Michael Coulson scoring for the visitors.
