Northampton Town 4-5 Accrington Stanley

Sean Maguire made it 5-2 to Accrington

Accrington held off a late Northampton fightback as John Coleman won a remarkable first game back in charge.

Coleman returned for a second spell this week and saw his side take the lead through Robert Atkinson's header.

Marc Richards levelled for the Cobblers with another header before Stanley went 4-1 up, Atkinson heading in again and John O'Sullivan scoring twice.

Cobblers sub Ivan Toney poked home before Sean Maguire made it 5-2, only for Toney and Darren Carter to reply.

The run of five goals in the last 15 minutes meant that there were 15 goals at Sixfields in four days, after Chris Wilder's side had beaten Hartlepool 5-1 in League Two in midweek.
