    Portsmouth players celebrate Christian Saydee's winner

    Over a half-century of goals in Leagues One and Two this afternoon.

    Paul Mullin's hat-trick for Wrexham takes the individual plaudits, but there were some big wins out there.

    Grimsby in the basement battle with Forest Green in League Two, and slender wins for leaders Portsmouth and Mansfield respectively.

    As the stakes get higher, we return on Tuesday night with eight games as the League One promotion showdown between Barnsley and Bolton tops the bill.

    Thanks for your company, see you then!

  2. Bottom of League Two - As it stands

    #bbcefl

    Bottom of League Two table

    A bad day for Forest Green who slip five points from safety after losing their six-pointer at Grimsby.

    The Mariners in turn climb above Colchester - who saw their match called off - and go six points clear of the relegation places.

    Bottom side Sutton are six points from safety after a 20th defeat of the season, this time at Tranmere who secured a first win in three to all but secure their place in League Two next season.

    Doncaster slipped to a first defeat in six matches against play-off chasers Walsall, but remain a healthy 12 points clear of the bottom two, a point behind Salford who went down at Gillingham.

  3. Top of League Two - As it stands

    With Stockport's match at Colchester postponed, Mansfield take full advantage as a narrow win at Newport opens up a three-point lead at the top.

    Wrexham move back into the automatic promotion places, into third, as they thrash Accrington 4-0, leapfrogging Crewe who let a two-goal lead slip in a surprise defeat to Morecambe.

    Barrow drop out of their play-off spots after their match with Crawley was called off.

    They were leapfrogged by both Walsall and Gillingham who occupy the final two play-off places after wins over Doncaster and Salford, respectively.

    But the race for the play-offs remains fluid, to say the least - a meagre five points separate sixth-placed Walsall and Harrogate in 13th.

  4. Bottom of League One - As it stands

    #bbcefl

    Bottom of League One table

    Life remains grim for Carlisle after their 3-1 home loss to Reading. They are now 15 points from safety with only 11 games to go. Desperate times!

    Far from desperate for Fleetwood following their 4-2 win over Wigan. Charlie Adam's side have real momentum as they chase an unlikely escape.

    Port Vale's defeat at Derby was no real surprise, although Cheltenham could not take full advantage as they shared a goalless draw with Burton.

    The gap is now four points between the Robins and safety, with Shrewsbury and Cambridge both dropping down.

    Charlton picked up a useful point at Northampton to jump to 18th, while the Royals' win at Carlisle means the three points compensate for the two deducted in midweek by the EFL.

  5. Portsmouth grabs huge win against Oxford

    Christian Saydee celebrates scoring for Portsmouth

    Just how important will Pompey’s home form prove to be come the end of the season?

    Not the prettiest of three points but given the results around them, an important victory for Pompey against a plucky Oxford United.

    It took just 88 seconds for the game’s first goal. A sharp attacking move from host’s finished by Callum Lang. That opener was cancelled out just minutes later.

    Oxford attacked with purpose and were rewarded with a penalty. Cameron Branagan cooly converted his seventh spot kick of the campaign and it was level until the break.

    An even game was eventually decided by a moment of quality. Marlon Pack’s pass was inch perfect and Christian Saydee’s finish was perfectly composed.

    Oxford pushed Pomey all the way in search of an equaliser, hitting the woodwork twice, the League leaders threw bodies in the path of anything heading towards their goal and saw the game out in front of another bumper crowd.

  6. Top of League One - As it stands

    #bbcefl

    league One table

    We have not often been able to say this in recent weeks, but wins for all of the top five today.

    Christian Saydee's second-half winner keeps Portsmouth seven points clear at the top, with now only 10 matches remaining.

    Derby stay second after a convincing success over Port Vale, while Bolton also recovered from successive losses with a home win over Cambridge.

    Those two are level on points, with Barnsley three behind after their 4-2 win at Wycombe and next up on Tuesday, it is Barnsley v Bolton at Oakwell.

    Peterborough beat Exeter and they stay fifth, although they will still think they can get in the shake-up for the top two.

    Stevenage only managed a goalless draw at Lincoln, but they move three clear of Oxford.

    Blackpool are four points outside of the play-offs as they found some form on the road with a 2-0 victory at Shrewsbury.

  7. League Two headlines

    #bbcefl

    Mansfield maintain top spot with George Maris scoring the only goal in their win at Newport, while Paul Mullin grabs a hat-trick as Wrexham thrash Accrington 4-0 to go third, level on points with Stockport.

    Crewe drop to fourth after surrendering a two-goal lead to lose 3-2 at home to Morecambe.

    MK Dons lose ground after their late defeat in the grudge match away to AFC Wimbledon, while Walsall move up to sixth by beating Doncaster 3-1 and Gillingham climb into the play-off places with a 2-0 win at Salford.

    At the foot of the table, Grimsby's crucial 1-0 win over Forest Green takes them six points clear of the bottom two.

    Sutton remain a point behind Forest Green in 24th place after their late 1-0 defeat at Tranmere.

  8. League One headlines

    #bbcefl

    There are victories for all the top five, with leaders Portsmouth holding off Oxford 2-1.

    Derby triumph 3-0 over Port Vale, while Bolton are 2-0 winners at home to Cambridge.

    Fourth-placed Barnsley twice come from behind to win 4-2 against 10-man Wycombe, with Peterborough beating Exeter 2-1.

    Stevenage stay sixth in the table after a 0-0 draw at Lincoln.

    Reading climb four places to 16th after a 3-1 triumph away to bottom side Carlisle, while Fleetwood fight back to beat Wigan 4-2 and boost their hopes of escaping relegation.

  9. FULL-TIME

    Derby 3-0 Port Vale

    Derby manager Paul Warne gets what he wanted with a win and a strong performance.

    Two goals from Louie Sibley and a first Derby goal for Dwight Gayle help the Rams to maintain second spot.

  10. 'Portsmouth punished but they hung in'

    FT: Portsmouth 2-1 Oxford Utd

    Guy Whittingham

    Former Portsmouth manager on BBC Radio Solent

    Portsmouth were punished today but they hung in there. They got one opportunity and they took it.

    Oxford will feel hard done by. They were the better team but you've got to take your chances. It will be demoralising for them - they would have expected at least a draw.

  11. FULL-TIME

    Wrexham 4-0 Accrington

    All of the goal action came in the first half as Paul Mullin's hat-trick and Elliot Lee's strike end Wrexham's three-game winless run.

    If they seal a second successive promotion their home record will be a big factor.

  12. FULL-TIME

    Portsmouth 2-1 Oxford

    That is a big win for the League One leaders.

    Pushed all the way by Oxford, Christian Saydee's second-half goal has settled a close game.

  13. RED CARD

    Lewis Shipley (90+1 mins)

    That seals a miserable afternoon for Accrington.

    An awful challenge by Lewis Shipley on Andy Cannon earns him a slightly early bath.

  14. 'Both teams waiting for the full-time whistle

    Derby 3-0 Port Vale

    Malcolm Christie

    Former Derby striker on BBC Radio Derby

    It almost feels like both teams just want the full-time whistle. The sting has been taken out of the game and it's just been a midfield battle.

    Derby players celebrating
  15. FULL-TIME

    Grimsby 1-0 Forest Green

    Grimsby go six points clear of the drop zone and leave Forest Green further in the mire.

    Harvey Rodgers' early effort proved enough for a first league win in eight attempts.

  16. FULL-TIME

    Bolton 2-0 Cambridge

    A goal in each half from George Thomason and Aaron Collins help Bolton get back to winning ways after one point from the previous three games.

  17. League One latest

    #bbcefl

    Blackpool's play-off prospects are looking up - the Tangerines are poised to move up to eighth in the table as they lead 2-0 at Shrewsbury, Hayden Coulson scoring their second goal.

    As it stands, Neil Critchley's side will go above Leyton Orient, who are losing 1-0 at home to Bristol Rovers - although the visitors are a man short, with James Wilson red-carded.

  18. FULL-TIME

    Newport 0-1 Mansfield

    Mansfield go three points clear at the top thanks to George Maris' second-half goal.

    A fifth win in their last six and ninth league victory on the road this season.

  19. 'Oxford have got to believe'

    Portsmouth 2-1 Oxford Utd

    Peter Rhoades-Brown

    Former Oxford and Chelsea winger on BBC Radio Oxford

    Oxford have still got to believe. They won't disappear because of all the hard work and graft they've put in. They are still there - they've got a chance.

    I can't believe they are in this position with all the quality they've shown. A nightmare result for Oxford if it stays this way.

  20. Post update

    Derby 3-0 Port Vale

    Big chance for Ben Garrity to pull one back for Port Vale, but he shoots wide from inside the area.

    Not Vale's day. They have not had many days for months in all honesty.
