    Wigan 2-1 Shrewsbury

    Wigan must have thought they had this game wrapped up.

    Shrewsbury are still in with hope of heading back down the M6 with a precious point.

    Gareth Ainsworth has made four subs looking for that little spark.

    Port Vale 0-0 Carlisle

    Carlisle midfielder Harrison Neal finds himself on the wrong end of a two against one but he's the one who comes out the better end.

    It gives the visitors a chance to counter and they earn themselves a throw-in in the Vale final third.

    Burton 1-2 Exeter

    Exeter have been out of form with just one win from their last nine, albeit from a hard fixture list.

    They are doing the business in Staffordshire and Gary Caldwell will be really pleased with how they have responded to that very early goal from Billy Bodin.

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:36 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December

    Harrogate 0-2 Walsall

    Walsall's Jamie Jellis is done for the day and is replaced with Jack Earing.

    Burton 1-2 Exeter

    Alan Tonge
    Former Exeter midfielder on BBC Radio Devon

    What a goal that is by Millenic Alli, he was able to cut in on his left and score a ridiculous goal.

    We said he might be the matchwinner this afternoon...

    Millenic Alli (73 mins)

    Exeter turn it around and Millenic Alli comes up with the goods to put the visitors ahead.

    That is an absolute beauty as he beats Max Crocombe and finds the top corner with his left foot.

    Magic Milli there for the Grecians!

    Mansfield still lead Rotherham 1-0 and Leyton Orient are three up at Barnsley.

    Blackpool and Stevenage is the only goalless game so far.

    Burton 1-1 Exeter

    Alan Tonge
    Former Exeter midfielder on BBC Radio Devon

    Exeter are going to need changes to try and get the game back, get the motivation back.

    Exeter have to be careful, they have nearly gifted Burton another goal again.

    So close to a second Burton goal, and to a second for Billy Bodin.

    Udoka Godwin-Malifé flicks a ball into Bodin's path he slices his effort wide of the near post.

    Will Aimson (67 mins og)

    A lifeline for Shrewsbury.

    Positive play down the right wing from Tom Bloxham and he sends over a cross that Will Aimson diverts past Sam Tickle into his own net at the near post.

    Well over 20 minutes to find a second goal here.

    Wigan 2-0 Shrewsbury

    Gareth Ainsworth has positivity and vitality in abundance and he is going to need all of that and then some with Shrewsbury this season.

    They are heading for a 15th defeat of the campaign - four more than any other side - and they have shipped 41 goals - four more than anyone else, statistics that only point to one thing.

    Relegation.

    Kabongo Tshimanga (61 mins)

    Swindon's Kabongo Tshimanga is making his boss proud this afternoon.

    Captain Ollie Clarke passes a through ball to the forward and Tshimanga sends it straight into the top left corner.

    It's feeling increasingly likely that Ian Holloway's special milestone is going to be marked with a win.
