Gillingham have extended their lead at the top of League Two to eight points after they recorded a 1-0 win over Rotherham United.

Northampton Town also failed to win their Easter Monday fixture, going down to a one-goal loss to Cheltenham Town, who close the gap on today's opponents to three points.

A late James Beattie goal denied promotion-chasing Burton Albion an important victory, with the former England international's equaliser earning Accrington Stanley a 3-3 draw.
