    It's been a night of sharing in the bottom two divisions - with clubs sharing the points in most of the key matches.

    Third versus first and fourth against fifth in League One were both draws, meaning Portsmouth's win carried even more weight to go back level on points with Bolton.

    In League Two, the top four all drew, allowing Barrow to jump up to third with a fifth straight victory as they continue to upset the odds.

    League One and Two football takes a break this weekend as clubs gear up for the FA Cup second round.

    We'll have coverage every day from Friday to Monday of the cup, but the next exclusive League One and Two live text commentary will be on Saturday 9 December.

    Thanks for your company this evening, see you in 11 days!

    Despite Harrogate's fight to come from two goals down at home to Wrexham, they drop down to 16th place in the table.

    That is because Newport's 2-1 win at Morecambe lifts them above Simon Weaver's side.

    Doncaster are up two places to 17th after beating Colchester 3-1.

    Sutton - who have now drawn their last four league games 1-1 - are still bottom and four points from safety, though they have closed in on Forest Green Rovers, who were thumped 3-0 at home to Bradford.

    Stockport still lead League Two by five points, despite a lack of goals from either side at Salford.

    Wrexham stay second after their draw at Harrogate, but are only ahead of Barrow on goal difference after the latter picked up three points at home to Walsall.

    Mansfield and Crewe both drop one place - having drawn against Tranmere and Sutton respectively - with Barrow moving ahead of the pair.

    Wins for Gillingham and Swindon see them gain two places.

    Reading are off the bottom after thumping Carlisle as Cheltenham drop below them after defeat away to Charlton.

    Exeter edge one point further clear of Fleetwood in the final relegation spot, as poor winless runs for Port Vale, Cambridge and Burton continue to drag them closer to trouble.

    Bolton remain on top, but only on goal difference as they draw at Oxford and Portsmouth win at Burton.

    Pompey will go top if they avoid defeat in a rearranged game away to Northampton on Saturday.

    There remains just a point between the Us, Stevenage and Peterborough after the 2-2 draw between those two sides, allowing Derby to move closer in sixth after a fourth win on the trot.

    While below the play-off spots, Barnsley won to leapfrog Blackpool, who suffered a surprise loss to Northampton.

  8. Gillingham find late goal in League Twopublished at 21:56 Greenwich Mean Time 28 November 2023

    #bbcefl

    They have certainly made the fans wait - no thanks to a power cut - but Gillingham's Conor Masterson has prodded home to make it 1-0 at home to Wimbledon late on.

  9. FULL-TIMEpublished at 21:53 Greenwich Mean Time 28 November 2023

    Accrington 3-4 Swindon

    An incredible last few minutes at the Wham Stadium!

    Swindon were coasting to three points when they 4-0 up heading into injury time.

    But Accrington scored three times through Korede Adedoyin and two from Brad Hills, but the Robins hung on for a second win in three days that was far closer than it should have been.

  10. Delay at Gillingham due to power cut in League Twopublished at 21:53 Greenwich Mean Time 28 November 2023

    #bbcefl

    We are still playing in the second half at Gillingham due to a power cut earlier.

    Still no goals from either the hosts or Wimbledon.

    But, certainly easier to find the goal with the lights turned on.

  11. Goalkeeping blooper!published at 21:50 Greenwich Mean Time 28 November 2023

    Barnsley 1-0 Wycombe

    Barnsley nicked the points at Oakwell and Wycombe goalkeeper Max Stryjek should hang his head in shame!

    He dallies with the ball on the edge of his six-yard area with the ball at his feet, loses it to Sam Cosgrove and appeals for a foul.

    There is barely a touch on Stryjek and despite his protestations, the goal stands and Barnsley win it.

  12. FULL-TIMEpublished at 21:48 Greenwich Mean Time 28 November 2023

    Milton Keynes 1-1 Grimsby

    It was looking like a dream night for David Artell in his first game as Grimsby manager.

    His new side dominated the first half and took the lead through Rekeil Pyke.

    But despite chances, they couldn't find a second goal and were made to pay when Jack Payne levelled for the home side.

  13. FULL-TIMEpublished at 21:46 Greenwich Mean Time 28 November 2023

    Stevenage 2-2 Peterborough

    Terrific midweek action in the LNERico!

    Stevenage went in two up through Luther James-Wildin and Ben Thompson, but fantastic response from Posh after the break.

    Joel Randall and Ronnie Edwards goals ensure it's a point apiece.

  14. FULL-TIMEpublished at 21:44 Greenwich Mean Time 28 November 2023

    Burton 0-2 Portsmouth

    Portsmouth respond to that first defeat of the season at the weekend with a very solid win.

    Colby Bishop's pen and Alex Robertson's first senior goal make the difference, but there will be concern over Bishop going off injured at half-time.

  15. FULL-TIMEpublished at 21:42 Greenwich Mean Time 28 November 2023

    Mansfield 2-2 Tranmere

    A superb game ends level at Field Mill.

    Tranmere took an early lead through Charlie Jolley but Rhys Oates equalised towards the end of the half.

    The visitors went back ahead with Rob Apter's goal just after an hour.

    But Will Swan, 11 minutes from time, saved the Stags from a second consecutive defeat.

  16. 'No-one's scored against them since October but Oxford came close'published at 21:41 Greenwich Mean Time 28 November 2023

    FT: Oxford 0-0 Bolton

    Peter Rhoades-Brown
    Former Oxford United and Chelsea winger on BBC Radio Oxford

    The shot from Thomason, the save from Beadle.

    Oxford's goalkeeper had to make a string of saves.

    For me that's a fair result, I know a lot of chances fell to Bolton, but no clear cut, some great blocks from both 'keepers.

    The two best 'keepers in the league on display tonight.

  17. FULL-TIMEpublished at 21:41 Greenwich Mean Time 28 November 2023

    Oxford 0-0 Bolton

    Third versus first ends goalless.

    Bolton's run of six straight wins is over, while Oxford have a first point for new boss Des Buckingham.

  18. FULL-TIMEpublished at 21:40 Greenwich Mean Time 28 November 2023

    Stockport 0-0 Salford

    League Two leaders Stockport County are held at home.

    They were much the better side and saw Nick Powell hit the bar in the first-half.

    Fraser Horsfall had a shot cleared off the line after the break before Alex Cairns came up with a double save for Salford.

    But no way through for County, who had won 12 matches on the bounce until defeat last Saturday.

  19. INJURY TIMEpublished at 21:40 Greenwich Mean Time 28 November 2023

    Stevenage 2-2 Peterborough

    We're into EIGHT minutes of injury time at the Lamex Stadium, partly caused by an earlier injury to Stevenage's Nathan Thompson.

    Plenty of time for a decisive fifth goal.

  20. RED CARD TRANMEREpublished at 21:39 Greenwich Mean Time 28 November 2023

    Mansfield 2-2 Tranmere

    Jordan Turnball sent off for a second yellow card so Tranmere will have to see out six minutes of stoppage time with 10.
