Shrove Tuesday was a good night for the chasers in the third and fourth tier.

League One leaders Birmingham lost for the first time in 19 league games at Bolton, allowing Wycombe to trim the gap to nine points, while Wrexham also kept in touch with a win at Huddersfield.

And once runaway League Two leaders Walsall continued their recent wobble with a draw at bottom side Carlisle, as second-placed Bradford moved to within just two points with victory over Cheltenham.

Things are very much flipping one way then the other as we head towards the run-in.

Our next live EFL text will be on Friday night as Norwich City welcome Oxford United.

Until then, goodnight!

Bradford's emphatic 3-0 win over Cheltenham coupled with Walsall's draw at bottom side Carlisle means the Saddlers' lead at the top is now down to just two points. It was 12 only a few weeks ago.

The Bantams also moved five points clear of Doncaster in third after they suffered a 1-0 defeat at Bromley, but Notts County couldn't take advantage as they also lost, going down 2-1 at home to Barrow.

AFC Wimbledon, Port Vale and Crewe all failed to win too.

At the bottom, Morecambe picked up a vital three points to move within one point of Tranmere following their draw at Grimsby.

It's been a good night for Wycombe and Wrexham who both win and Birmingham's lead at the top is reduced to nine points, though they still have a game in hand.

Bolton and Charlton both won again to boost their play-off hopes but a fourth straight defeat for Leyton Orient has seen them slip further back.

Bristol Rovers' draw with bottom side Shrewsbury takes them three points clear of Burton Albion in 21st, while Salop remain eight points adrift of safety.

Let's take a look at a rundown of what happened in Leagues One and Two this evening..

Wycombe secure all three points after a great finish from Daniel Udoh and an own goal from Burton defender Jack Armer after he misjudged his goalkeepers positioning.

It was a well-deserved victory in the end as Burton failed to create any real chances.

The second-half changes showed that the home side didn't have to change their gear.

They'll be pleased with that result after the weekend's defeat.

Burton will have it all to do to stay up as they didn't do enough to find a goal.

There are three minutes added on at the end of this one-sided affair.

Burton have a shout for a penalty but a good challenge in the box.

Wycombe will gain three points on the league leaders after tonight.

Making Birmingham look pretty average, especially in front of goal, was tremendous from Bolton.

But now Bolton become that scalp again.

That game against Burton will be a difficult fixture now as people will expect them to win it.

The hosts are just seeing this game out now.

There's been very little threat from Burton who will miss their chance to climb out of the relegation zone.

A blistering second half performance did the trick, what an amazing night for Bolton.

A statement win for Bolton in their quest to reach the play-offs as they end Birmingham's 18-game unbeaten run.

Emil Hansson had given Blues the lead after 23 minutes but the Trotters hit back with an excellent turnaround.

First, John McAtee drilled in an equaliser at the near post before George Thomason reacted quickest to steer home and put Bolton ahead.

Aaron Collins then rounded off a night to remember with a lovely turn and finish after fine work by Joel Randall.

Wrexham hold on for all three points and it's a big win in the race for automatic promotion.

Steven Fletcher's winner after a goalmouth scramble keeps the Red Dragons on track.

Huddersfield's play-off hopes are dented again as they fail to score for the sixth successive home game.

A ball into the Wrexham box drops for Huddersfield's Lasse Sorensen but his effort is well blocked! Last chance saloon now for the hosts...

Bradford totally dominant and waltz past Cheltenham.

George Lapslie, signed from Gillingham in January and handed his first start tonight, opened the scoring with a first-half header and added a second, also from close range, after half-time.

Michael Mellon made it three as City record a 10th straight home league win - a new club record.

Cheltenham were completely outplayed and slump to their heaviest league defeat of the season.

I am reluctant to suggest this, but this is a statement win from Bolton Wanderers.

They are a big club and they have been playing like a big club.

Birmingham have come back with nothing to offer.

A final roll of the dice from the visitors as Tomas Kalinauskas replaces Mason Bennett.

It ends all square. A point is probably better for Bristol Rovers than it is for Shrewsbury in the grand scheme of the relegation battle.

Both sides had chances but couldn't capitalise. A draw does end four and three-match losing streaks for Salop and the Gas respectively.

Gareth Ainsworth's side remain eight points adrift of safety.

Jordan Shipley curls a free-kick over the wall for Shrewsbury but it's well read by visiting keeper Jed Ward and he's able to catch comfortably in the end.
