Sky Bet League One round-up: Shrewsbury stay unbeaten but lose top spot to Wigan


Review and updated odds from Saturday's action in Sky Bet League One.

Shaun Whalley's equaliser preserved Shrewsbury's unbeaten Sky Bet League One record but they were knocked off top spot after drawing 1-1 at Plymouth, who are 1/4 for the drop.

Midfielder Whalley slotted home in the 78th minute to cancel out Graham Carey's opener for Plymouth 13 minutes into the second half, but the point was not enough to stop Wigan leapfrogging them into pole position.

The Latics went top on goal difference after a 3-0 home win against 10-man Southend secured them a fourth straight league victory and they're 8/13 for the title.

Wigan led through Michael Jacobs' early opener and after visiting striker Jermaine McGlashan had been sent off for his foul on Callum Elder, Nick Powell and Ivan Toney scored late goals to seal the three points.

Bradford stay third despite slipping to only their second defeat in 10 league games as they lost 3-1 at Bury.

Chris Maguire's first-half penalty and Jermaine Beckford's seventh goal of the season cancelled out Charlie Wyke's early opener for Bradford and Jay O'Shea fired a late third for the Shakers. 

Bradford are now available at 11/1 for the title as Wigan harden.

Rotherham remain fourth but closed the gap on Bradford to two points as goals from Will Vaulks and Kieffer Moore - the latter's 10th goal of the season - secured a 2-0 home win against Scunthorpe.

Peterborough, fifth overnight, slipped to seventh as they lost 1-0 at home to struggling Gillingham, thanks to Lee Martin's first-half goal.

The result saw the Gills eased in the relegation market but they remain odds-on at 1/3.

Charlton climbed up to fifth after Tariqe Fosu's early goal was enough to beat Doncaster 1-0 at The Valley and Oxford moved into the play-off places courtesy of Alex Mowatt's late strike in a 1-0 win at Bristol Rovers.

Queensy Menig struck a last-minute winner as managerless Oldham beat Blackburn 1-0 at Boundary Park and caretaker boss Richie Wellens has now guided the club to four straight wins since taking charge.

Wellens is now firmly expected to take the job on a full-time basis, while Blackburn are out to 8/1 in the outright market as a consequence of this defeat.

Devante Cole's late equaliser rescued a point for Fleetwood in a 2-2 home draw against Rochdale.

Ashley Eastham struck for Fleetwood before the interval, but Rochdale hit back to take the lead through Brad Inman and Ian Henderson's header early in the second half.

Fleetwood substitute Wes Burns was shown a straight red card for his 65th-minute challenge on Callum Camps, but the home side rescued a point thanks to Cole's 83rd-minute effort.

Blackpool substitute Viv Solomon-Otabor's second-half goal cancelled out Walsall midfielder Erhun Oztumer's first-half free-kick in 1-1 draw at the Banks's Stadium and Oliver Hawkins scored both goals as Portsmouth beat MK Dons 2-0 at Fratton Park.

Northampton slipped to a third straight league defeat as Harry Forrester's second-half goal clinched AFC Wimbledon a 1-0 away win. The second-bottom Cobblers are winless in their last seven league games under Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
