Wigan consolidated their place at the top of Sky Bet League One with a 4-0 win at struggling AFC Wimbledon, who finished with 10 men.
Midfielder Michael Jacobs broke the deadlock on 57 minutes and the Dons soon had midfielder Harry Forrester dismissed. Nick Powell made it 2-0 on 73 minutes before Max Power added a third and substitute Ivan Toney completed the rout in stoppage time.
Shrewsbury remain second after a 1-0 home win over Blackpool, secured by a 54th-minute goal from midfielder Jon Nolan.
Blackburn are still third after they beat play-off hopefuls Charlton 2-0 at Ewood Park through an own goal from Leon Best on 30 minutes and Danny Graham's stoppage-time strike.
Fourth-placed Bradford snatched a 2-1 win at Southend with a last-minute late penalty from Charlie Wyke. Striker Dominic Poleon put the visitors in front early on, but Southend winger Stephen McLaughlin equalised with 15 minutes left.
But there was late drama when Ryan Leonard saw red and Wyke made no mistake from the spot.
Play-off chasing Scunthorpe also had a man sent off as they were held to a 2-2 draw at home by MK Dons. The Iron took the lead on 27 minutes through midfielder Hakeeb Adelakun.
Kieran Agard equalised, but Scunthorpe regained the lead straight away through Kevin van Veen. Scunthorpe were reduced to 10 men during first-half stoppage time when midfielder Neal Bishop was shown a straight red card for striking Chuks Aneke with his elbow.
MK Dons made their advantage count as midfielder Aneke equalised on 66 minutes.
Gillingham pulled clear of the relegation zone with a 4-1 home win over Bristol Rovers. Mark Byrne scored from a rebound after his initial penalty had been saved and defender Alex Lacey headed in a second on 37 minutes, with midfielder Josh Parker making it 3-0 soon after the restart.
Byrne scored again after the break before missing a hat-trick chance in the 65th minute when he shot wide from the penalty spot. Liam Sercombe netted a consolation for Rovers in stoppage time.
Northampton won for the first time in five league games, beating Walsall 2-1. Erhun Oztumer had given the Saddlers the lead after just 70 seconds.
Northampton, though, were soon back on level terms when Chris Long headed home and the striker scored again in the 41st minute. Both teams finished with 10 men when Northampton striker Matt Crooks and Walsall's Amadou Bakayoko were dismissed late on.
Semi Ajayi scored a last-gasp equaliser as 10-man Rotherham fought back to draw 1-1 with Plymouth. The Millers had defender Richard Wood dismissed after half-time, and Ryan Taylor headed Plymouth in front with eight minutes left.
Bury remain bottom after a 1-0 loss at Portsmouth, where defender Matt Clarke scored after the hour mark.
Eoin Doyle equalised with just two minutes left to earn Oldham a 1-1 draw at Doncaster. Rovers had gone in front just before the hour when defender Andy Butler headed in.
Rochdale picked up a point with a goalless home draw against Oxford, but results elsewhere saw them drop into the bottom four.
