Gillingham remain at the top of the League One table, as they scored a late equaliser to make it 1-1 against Southend United.

Nicky Ajose scored a last-minute equaliser for Swindon Town, after the home side had trailed 2-0 to Coventry City with five minutes of normal time left.

Tom Naylor and Abdenasser El Khayati scored late goals to give Burton Albion a 2-0 victory over Port Vale, after both sides had a man sent off.

Wigan Athletic move up to fifth in the table after their 1-1 draw with Bradford City.
