Shrewsbury maintained their three-point lead at the top of League One despite Bradley Dack's late equaliser in a 1-1 home draw against Blackburn.

Summer signing Dack struck his first goal for Rovers in the 85th minute, after Aristote Nsiala had broken the deadlock from close-range early in the second half.

The Shrews extended their unbeaten league start to nine matches, while Peterborough climbed into second place after Jack Marriott’s late winner clinched them a 3-2 home win against promotion rivals Wigan.

Wigan led 1-0 at half-time thanks to Michael Jacobs, but Junior Morias levelled early in the second period and added a second in the 84th minute.

Ryan Colclough’s effort in the closing stages appeared to have earned Paul Cook’s side a point, but Marriott struck in the final minute to deny them.

Bradford moved above Wigan into third place after Tony McMahon’s superb first-half free-kick secured them a 1-0 win at Northampton.

Late goals from Ryan Sweeney and Ellis Harrison earned Bristol Rovers a 3-1 home win against in-form Blackpool.

The Gas hit back through Billy Bodin’s seventh goal of the season, after Kyle Vassell had given Blackpool an early lead.

Sweeney (84) and Harrison’s stoppage-time effort halted Blackpool’s seven-game unbeaten league run.

Rotherham thrashed Oldham 5-1 at the New York Stadium – their third home win by that scoreline this season.

Michael Ihiekwe’s early header was cancelled out by Oldham’s Craig Davies.
