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.
Tony Mowbray's men have also sealed an instant return to the Championship, but they were downed by Jason Pearce's first-half goal for the Addicks, who moved closer to sealing a play-off place.
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.
They came into the game needing an unlikely set of results to pull off an escape, but first-half goals from Rory McCardle and Ivan Toney sent them down.
Opta facts
- Southend have won three consecutive league games without conceding a goal for the first time since April 2015 while in League Two (7 games).
- Nathan Delfouneso has scored five goals in his last five league games for Blackpool, as many as he had scored in his previous 37 games for the club.
- Bury have won a game without conceding themselves for the first time November 2017 vs Shrewsbury – a run of 28 games in all comps.
- Jason Pearce has scored twice in his last three league games for Charlton - he had only managed to find the net once in his first 44 such games for the Addicks.
- Seven of Ivan Toney’s last eight league goals this season have been scored away from home.
- Oxford United have scored two penalties in the same EFL game for the first time since April 2005 against Notts County.
- In the top four tiers of English football, only Mohamed Salah (31) has scored more league goals than Jack Marriott (27) this season.
- Joe Pigott has scored in three consecutive EFL games for the first time in his career.
The win for Scunthorpe means their midweek clash with Plymouth will be vital in the chase for the play-offs after Argyle's home win over Rotherham.
The Millers are guaranteed fourth spot and they led through Richie Towell, only for Joel Grant and Graham Carey to win it after the break.
Walsall claimed a vital 1-0 win in last-gasp fashion which puts them in touching distance of safety and effectively relegates Northampton.
George Dobson bagged an injury-time winner to move the Saddlers three points clear of the drop zone with two games left to play. The Cobblers are three points adrift of safety with a vastly inferior goal difference and only one game remaining.
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.
Shrewsbury, assured of third place, drew 1-1 with Blackpool while already-relegated Bury beat Portsmouth 1-0.
Peterborough enjoyed a 2-0 success over Fleetwood, with Jack Marriott scoring his 27th league goal of the season, while two late goals saw Bristol Rovers and Gillingham draw 1-1.
