Wigan moved to the brink of the League One title after a home draw with AFC Wimbledon.

The Latics, who have already secured automatic promotion, came from behind to earn a point with Michael Jacobs' second-half goal cancelling out Joe Pigott's opener for the Dons.

That leaves Paul Cook's men two points ahead of Blackburn with just one game to play after Rovers were beaten 1-0 at Charlton.

Managerless MK Dons will be playing in League Two for the first time in a decade next season after their relegation was confirmed with a 2-0 loss at home to Scunthorpe.

The win for Scunthorpe means their midweek clash with Plymouth will be vital in the chase for the play-offs after Argyle's 2-1 home win over Rotherham.

Walsall claimed a vital 1-0 win in last-gasp fashion which puts them in touching distance of safety and effectively relegates Northampton. That win sent Rochdale back into the bottom four after they were beaten 2-1 at Oxford, despite having led through Brad Inman's opener.

Oldham are a point clear of Dale after a 0-0 draw with Doncaster and their fate will be decided on the final day where they play Northampton, who will need to win by nine goals.

Bradford lost 2-0 at home to Southend.
