League One round-up
Struggling Burton turned the Sky Bet League One formbook on its head as they held on to claim a shock 3-2 win over in-form Port Vale at Vale Park.
Dino Maamria's team limped into the game still looking for their first win of the season, while Vale looked set to extend their unbeaten run to 10 matches.
But Beryly Lubula shocked the hosts with an 11th-minute opener and despite Ben Garrity equalising for Vale before the break, second-half strikes from Steve Seddon and Kwadoh Baah put the visitors in command.
Oliver Arblaster gave Vale hope in the 86th minute and Burton goalkeeper Max Crocombe preserved the points when he denied James Wilson in stoppage time.
