Northampton Town 2-3 Bury

Bury defender Hayden White was one of two men sent off at Sixfields.

Bury beat Northampton to end a run of seven games without a win as both sides finished with 10 men.

Northampton took the lead when Ivan Toney crossed for Marc Richards, but Andrew Tutte levelled from 25 yards.

Former Crystal Palace midfielder Tom Soares headed the Shakers ahead and Danny Mayor lashed in a third.

Toney and Hayden White were then both sent off for an altercation behind the goal and, though Chris Hackett scored from a corner, Bury held on to win.

The Cobblers have now lost four League Two games in a row and have only won two of the last 12.

Northampton Town manager Chris Wilder told BBC Radio Northampton:

"It's tough times. It's another loss. We started the game ever so well but we get to half-time and we're chasing the game from then.

"We need a point from somewhere. There's no hiding that we're in a poor run of form.

"The atmosphere went flat and I understand - it was 'here we go again' time.

"Ivan has said the lad was on top of him and he's tried to get up. He says there's been no violent conduct."

Bury manager David Flitcroft told BBC Radio Manchester:

"It's a strange time of year when you've got so many games, you know with the planning and you're looking ahead of yourselves but we couldn't look past this game.

"We knew how important the game was after the run we've been on and certainly away from home we knew we had to come here and if it wasn't going to be a real football contest then it had to be a real battle and we showed signs of both.

"We had so many good opportunities to really kill the game off and we totally deserved to be 3-1 ahead."
