Bromley sealed a fairy tale Sky Bet League Two title to go with their promotion as they defeated Walsall 3-1 while MK Dons could only draw at Fleetwood.

Midway through the half Aaron Pressley headed straight into the hands of Grant Smith when unmarked in the penalty area.

Bromley took the lead eight minutes before the interval, Ben Thompson spinning outside the 18-yard box before smashing beyond Myles Roberts to send the Ravens top of the league.
The Saddlers went close to an immediate equaliser when Pressley was again denied by Smith.
The second half saw the game break into breathless action on the hour mark; first Jude Arthurs' drive from 15 yards was tipped over the bar by Roberts and with their next attack Mitch Pinnock doubled the lead with a 22-yard effort.
Almost immediately Walsall reduced the arrears, Jid Okeke tapping home from Alex Pattison's cutback.
However, Omar Sowunmi re-established the two-goal lead in the 67th minute, heading home at the back post from Pinnock's corner.
Nicke Kabamba could have had a late goal to add gloss to the scoreline but it was not needed as Bromley ran down the game to seal the title amid raucous celebrations.
Andy Woodman proud of 'relentless' Bromley after securing League Two title
Bromley boss Andy Woodman:
"My guys kept believing and pushing, we had some adversity that people didn't realise. We had some luck with Fleetwood beating MK Dons but it feels amazing to say Bromley are League Two champions.
"This doesn't mean anything to me on a personal level, it means more to me that these boys have got the accolades they deserve. These young men deserve all the credit. The trophy and the medals are lovely but the memories of these boys achieving what I said they could achieve is the proudest moment.
"The shackles were off today and the boys played with no nerves and kept going. They have and continue to be relentless. We kept our DNA all season and got our just rewards."
