That's all from our EFL coverage tonight as Bradford missed out again on top spot in League One after their stalemate against Lincoln at Valley Parade, while strugglers Plymouth fell to a third loss on the spin with defeat at Mansfield.

Meanwhile, Accrington and Tranmere played out a 1-1 draw in League Two to move Stanley a point above the drop zone.

Thanks for your company this evening. Join us again for more EFL action on Friday when Wrexham host Championship leaders Coventry City. Until then, goodnight.

Bradford manager Graham Alexander, speaking to BBC West Yorkshire Sport: "It was a game for the centre-halves, wasn't it? We could have done with 11 of them out there.

"The players deserve immense credit for standing up to that. We had to see through the first 20 minutes, which were a really tough test.

"After that, we found our feet and adjusted to the type of game it was. In the second half, we had some really good chances.

"On another day, we get a 1-0 win or they score off one of their set pieces, which the referee allowed them.

"I said at half-time, 'If they're going to try to beat us this way, we've got to stand up to it.' I'm really proud of the team."

Nigel Clough's Mansfield continued their good form with a 2-0 home win over Plymouth to move closer to the play-off places. Defeat means Plymouth stay third-bottom.

Bradford missed out on the chance to go top after their goalless draw at home to Lincoln, who leapfrogged AFC Wimbledon into fifth.

Accrington boss John Doolan will be disappointed after his side drew at home to Tranmere, with Paddy Madden's penalty kick being saved after Rovers equalised, but they did move up a place and also a point above the bottom two.

Tranmere also jumped up a spot thanks in part to veteran goalkeeper Joe Murphy's heroics in keeping the scores level.

Lincoln head coach Michael Skubala, speaking to BBC Radio Lincolnshire: "For people who weren't fans of either team, it was great to watch.

"It was a cracking game with both sides trying to win. We were better in the first half, came out brilliantly and had complete control of the game.

"Bradford had to change their shape. In the second half, they had to bring the big man, Andy Cook, on and go on second balls.

"The second half was probably even stevens until the last 10 minutes, when they got on top and we had to weather it a bit.

"A draw is a fair result."

Lincoln goalkeeper George Wickens, speaking to BBC Radio Lincolnshire: "Bradford have been rolling teams over here this season, so to come here, get a clean sheet and play at the intensity and get the chances we did is very positive.

"We had a few big chances and they had a few near the end. 0-0 or 1-1 would have been a fair result.

"The defence is so solid in front of me, from top to bottom."

I can’t fault the players and the game management. Everything Michael Skubala asked for, he got.

It was just a really good game of football to watch.

A little bit of composure would have helped, those little decisions in the final third we’re just not getting right.

It will come for Lincoln. It's a really good start to the season and we will take it.

That second half, City had far more of the play. They just couldn't find that moment of quality.

Throughout the game there was a lack of composure from both teams.

A fair result.

Tranmere's boisterous fans had more to be excited about during the final stages of a dramatic second half in tricky conditions in League Two, but their side could not score a second as their unbeaten run extends to three games.

Charlie Whitaker's memorable strike - his first goal for the club - earns 17th-placed Rovers a point, as does 44-year-old Joe Murphy's penalty save from Paddy Madden almost immediately afterwards.

Shaun Whalley marked his long-awaited comeback with a composed finish to give Stanley a half-time lead, but the hosts are only a point above the bottom two, in 21st.

Tranmere load the box for a corner during six minutes of added time.

Omari Patrick nods the ball down, but Accrington hack clear.

Eighth-placed Mansfield's momentum continues with a comfortable third win as part of a five-match unbeaten league run.

Nigel Clough's side are three points from the play-off places thanks to Will Evans' second goal in four days and Jordan Bowery's finish, sealing victory five minutes after coming on.

Plymouth's only major chance fell to Tegan Finn, who was brilliantly denied by Liam Roberts just before Bowery's introduction.

Argyle remain third-bottom and have gone almost five hours without scoring. They've lost three in a row, with this their second 2-0 defeat in six days.

Points shared in West Yorkshire in a scrappy encounter.

On the balance of play it's probably a fair result.

Bradford go seven unbeaten and move up to second, a point behind leaders Stockport, but Graham Alexander will no doubt see this as another missed opportunity to top League One after recording their fourth successive draw.

Lincoln move a place up into fifth after picking up a point on the road. They'll take that given that the Bantams are unbeaten at Valley Parade this season.

Mansfield will feel they are seeing out these closing minutes nicely. They've sent on Max Dickov - son of Paul - and Dom Dwyer for Stephen McLaughlin and Nathan Moriah-Welsh.

Plymouth are toiling. Lorent Tolaj shifts the ball to Bim Pepple on the edge of the box on the left, and the home fans make their amusement clear as the resulting shot sails high over the bar.

Ciaran Kelly puts in a cross into the Lincoln box, Andy Cook meets it with his head, but George Wickens is equal to it and tips it over his bar.

Cook nearly wins it at the end on his 200th appearance.

End-to-end entertainment in the closing stages in League Two.

Accrington's Benn Ward supplies on-loan Everton winger Isaac Heath who fires a low shot narrowly wide of the far post from the left.

The home fans thought the net was about to bulge, there.

We're into four minutes of added time.

Will we find winner at Valley Parade?

[Tyreik ] Wright has been really good for Bradford tonight, it's a great save from Wickens.

The rebound comes straight to the Bradford player and I thought he'd tuck it away.

I could watch another 10 minutes of this.

We've entered seven minutes of added time.

This would be some rescue act from Plymouth, while Mansfield are closing in on 11 points from their past five games.

Bradford come forward as Andy Cook picks out Tyreik Wright, he shoots but Lincoln keeper George Wickens makes the save.

That's the best opportunity he home side have probably created this half.

I think Mariah-Welsh has worked hard tonight, he's put in a really good shift.

He's had that little bit of quality tonight.

It's been comfortable for Mansfield in the end.
