Highlights of the Sky Bet League Two game between Gillingham and Stevenage.

Stevenage remain two points clear at the top of League Two after playing out a 1-1 draw in Steve Evans' return to former club Gillingham.

Evans, sacked by the then-League One club in January, received a modest reception from home fans before he watched his side extend their unbeaten league run to five games.

Goal-shy Gillingham's profligacy was evident once again when Scott Kashket somehow blazed over the bar one yard out after meeting Hakeeb Adelakun's shot-turned-cross again midway through the opening half.

The hosts were made to pay for that miss six minutes later when Danny Rose powerfully headed home from Saxon Earley's neat delivery.

Indonesian defender Elkan Baggott's first goal in English football, a towering header from Will Wright's free-kick, levelled the scores five minutes before the break.
