    League One & League Two

    No promotions today but the EFL certainly brought the entertainment.

    We return on Tuesday with yet more promotion clashes in League One, with Bolton taking on Stevenage and Huddersfield hosting Cardiff.

    Wednesday features a Northampton side trying to save themselves from relegation, but Bromley will have to wait until Thursday when they face third-placed Cambridge United to see if their promotion dreams will come true.

    Bromley stayed top of League Two but missed their chance to seal promotion to League One for the first time after suffering defeat at title rivals MK Dons who in turn close the gap at the summit to four points.

    In another big game in terms of promotion - Cambridge's 4-0 win over Notts County saw them swap places with the U's who are just two points off second spot.

    Salford and Chesterfield stay in the play-off places after their draws with Gillingham and Tranmere, respectively.

    Grimsby are up to eighth and swap places with Crewe after a 3-2 win over the Railwaymen while Barnet's win at lowly Barrow sees the Bees fly up to ninth.

    In the big game at the bottom of the table - Harrogate stay rooted to bottom after they lost at relegation rivals Newport who now four points adrift the danger zone.

    Despite all the action within the top six this afternoon, none of the teams move an inch.

    However it's the top two that celebrate as Lincoln move to within four points of the title and Cardiff City extend their lead in the remaining automatic promotion spot to a whopping 10 points.

    The bottom four also don't see any changes but Exeter's point puts them in striking distance of both AFC Wimbledon and Leyton Orient, while Blackpool and Burton give themselves some breathing room.

    Blackpool 3-1 Peterborough

    The action at Bloomfield Road is still ongoing after a lengthy stoppage following a medical emergency in the crowd.

    The Tangerines have a two-goal cushion as it stands but are short after defender Fraser Horsfall was given his marching orders.

    Still, time is running low for Posh to make the most of it.

    Wild celebrations and chants of "we are staying up" from the home fans at Rodney Parade.

    Nine years since pulling of their last great escape, Newport move closer to safety with a huge win against relegation rivals Harrogate.

    They had to hold on for the three points with late pressure from the visitors.

    Harrogate's departure from the football league looks more and more likely.

    Huge celebrations from the Stevenage players and supporters.

    Not many teams can say they've come to Valley Parade and taken all three points this season.

    It's a setback for Bradford City.

    Stevenage's only shot on target gives them the win in a top-six match lacking any real quality.

    Bradford failed to deal with a throw into the box and Dan Kemp pounced to slash a venomous strike in for the winner.

    The Bantams tried to turn up the pressure but could only watch as their efforts were thwarted by Boro stopper Filip Marschall.

    It wasn't enjoyable viewing but Stevenage fans won't mind. Neither will those watching from Cardiff either.

    Newport 2-1 Harrogate

    Vital three points for Newport at the bottom end of League Two!

    Nathaniel Opoku had put Newport in front, but that was cancelled out when Harrogate captain Jack Evans got an equaliser for the sides to go in level at the break.

    But Joe Thomas' second-half strike bags the win for the Exiles who remain 22nd, but have a four-point cushion of the relegation zone.

    Harrogate miss their chance to lift themselves off the bottom of the table.

    Another great save from the Stevenage keeper Filip Marschall, down to his left.

    A strong palm to prevent Nick Powell from scoring his first City goal.

    The home side are throwing everything at this, all to play for. The game is wide open now.

    Bradford 0-1 Stevenage

    Nick Powell's header has some real bite but he can only get it to sting Filip Marschall's gloves.

    The Boro stopper has been instrumental in holding on to those three points for the visitors in these final stages.

    Will he continue to be until the final whistle?

    Cambridge 4-0 Notts County

    Cambridge leapfrog Notts County into third after this resounding victory.

    First-half goals from Dominic Ball, Shayne Lavery and James Gibbons had the Us three up, but they went down to 10 men after goalkeeper Jake Eastwood was given his marching orders for handling outside of his area.

    But Gibbons got his second of the game in the second half to seal a massive three points for the U's with Notts County dropping down to fourth.

    Burton 1-0 AFC Wimbledon

    Burton earn a little breathing space from the bottom three thanks to Kyran Lofthouse's lofty header.

    The Brewers were the better side in a lacklustre tie and earned their reward after Lofthouse nodded in the winner from the back post.

    It wasn't a thriller but the home fans will excite the stadium feeling pleased with their four point gap to the bottom four, while the Dons make the long trip back to London on the edge of the relegation line.

    A clever free-kick from City.

    It looks like something they must have practiced.

    The wall jumps, Nick Powell shoots underneath it, but the Stevenage keeper goes low to keep the ball out.
