  4. How the top of League Two looks

    How the top of League Two looks

    Stockport have the title that they desperately wanted to go with their promotion to League One, a division Mansfield will join them in next season.

    Crawley came back into their game at home to Barrow to give themselves what could prove to be an important point, especially as Walsall found a late 2-1 winner to move within one point of the Sussex side.

  5. How the bottom of League Two looks

    How the bottom of League Two looks

    Forest Green are down without kicking a ball.

    The onus is on Sutton to get a result to close the four-point gap to Colchester, but they too could be relegated on Saturday if they don't do that.

    Grimsby are nearly over the line in terms of staying up, given their six-point gap to the drop zone.

    One thing Colchester have managed tonight though, is level up their goal difference to the Mariners.

  6. How the top of League One looks

    Top of League One

    Portsmouth are back in the Championship and now cannot be caught, so Derby's sole focus will be on doing enough to hold off the automatic promotion charge of Bolton and Peterborough.

    Oxford, Lincoln and Blackpool look set for a great battle to secure the final play-off position, although Barnsley haven't fully rubber-stamped theirs, and Stevenage can still mathemetically make it.

  7. How the bottom of League One looks

    How the bottom of League One looks

    Fleetwood battled well today, but now face an extremely difficult task to stay in League One.

    Port Vale also need results to go their way in the final two games.

    • Cheltenham grab a crucial 2-1 victory away at relegation rivals Burton and they are now two points inside the drop zone, but with a game in hand on the Brewers.
    • Port Vale lose 2-1 at home to Wycombe, meaning their hopes of staying in League One suffer a blow and they are now three points from safety

    Against all the odds Cheltenham Town have come from behind to win.

    They have kept their survival hopes in their own hands.

    It's a famous victory, Cheltenham's first victory here since 2011.

    Curtis Davies of all men, heading home from a corner, what a story, what a night, what a performance.

    Four games without a win they were sinking into League Two when Steve Seddon gave Burton the lead in first-half stoppage time.

    But Matt Taylor equalised just after the break.

    And Curtis Davies' first goal for two years, flicking in a header from a corner, has given Cheltenham a massive three points.

    The Gloucestershire club now just two points from safety with three games remaining - a game in hand on everyone around them.

    Burton are their cloest rivals and the Brewers have played a game more.

    FT: Portsmouth 3-2 Barnsley

    It's been 12 long seasons away but Pompey are finally back in the Championship!

  15. Where to stand for the final whistle ref?

    Portsmouth 3-2 Barnsley

    Andrew Moon

    BBC Radio Solent commentator

    I wonder where these celebrations are going to take place for the players.

    If the referee has any sense he is not going to blow it over by the Pompey fans the far side, surely he is going to blow it by the tunnel so he can escape safely and quickly!?

  16. Post update

    Paris Maghoma curled in a superb leveller but they couldn't find the winner.
