Plymouth and Ipswich were both celebrating promotion to the Sky Bet Championship after victories on Saturday.

Steven Schumacher’s goal was enough for leaders Plymouth to edge out Burton 1-0, while Ipswich confirmed their own rise with a more emphatic 6-0 rout of Exeter.

Five of the goals came in a 25-minute spell in the first half as Conor Chaplin scored twice, with Massimo Lungo, George Hirst and Nathan Broadhead also finding the net between his two strikes. Wes Burns added the sixth early in the second half.

With only one point between the top two, the title race will go down to the final day.

Bolton made sure of a play-off place with a 2-0 win over 10-man Fleetwood, secured via a Promise Omochere own goal and a Kyle Dempsey strike, as seventh-placed Peterborough were held to a 0-0 draw by Bristol Rovers.

Sixth-placed Derby failed to take full advantage as they drew 1-1 with Portsmouth, leaving them two points clear going into the final day.

Third-placed Sheffield Wednesday swept aside Shrewsbury 3-0 but fourth-placed Barnsley had to come from 4-1 down in the last 20 minutes to earn a 4-4 draw at MK Dons, with Max Watters scoring twice in the comeback.

The late collapse meant the Dons blew a chance to secure their League One status on the day, but Port Vale are now safe despite going down 3-2 away to Charlton.

Oxford are effectively safe after a 3-0 win away to relegated Forest Green moved them three points clear of 21st-placed Morecambe while boasting a vastly superior goal difference.

Morecambe are still alive after coming from 2-0 down to beat Lincoln 3-2, with Cole Stockton grabbing the winner – his second of the afternoon – four minutes from time. The win puts them level on points with the Dons, albeit with a significantly worse goal difference.

Cambridge are a point further back in 22nd after Harrison Dunk got the winner in a 2-1 victory over Accrington Stanley, who are now effectively down, three points from safety with a dismal goal difference to boot going into the final day.

Cheltenham beat Wycombe 3-0.

Crawley secured their League Two survival with a goalless draw at home to Walsall, a result which relegates Hartlepool despite their 3-1 home win over Barrow, who ended the match with eight men as Harrison Neal and Patrick Brough both saw red, with Josh Gordon hobbling off.

Relegated Rochdale lifted spirits with a 4-1 win over 10-man Sutton in their final home game, while Sam Taylor’s first professional goal earned Tranmere a point in a 1-1 draw with AFC Wimbledon.
