Yeovil forward Francois Zoko came back to haunt his former club as Notts County lost their place at the top of Sky Bet League Two following a 1-1 draw at Huish Park.

County looked on course for a narrow victory courtesy of Jonathan Forte's 41st-minute opener but Zoko converted a penalty 10 minutes from time after he was fouled in the area by Magpies defender Richard Duffy.

The hosts were reduced to 10 men two minutes from time when Sid Nelson was dismissed for an off-the-ball incident involving Ryan Yates.

County's slip up allowed free-scoring Luton to go top on goal difference as they comfortably beat Carlisle 3-0.

Nathan Jones' Hatters, who have now scored 46 goals in 19 games, were in complete control by half-time thanks to goals from Andrew Shinnie and Dan Potts.

Substitute Harry Cornick wrapped up victory in the 76th minute, while Danny Hylton's late penalty was saved by Carlisle goalkeeper Jack Bonham.

Luton are odds-on favourites at 8/11 with Sky Bet to win the League Two title. Notts County follow in the outright market at 5/1.

Accrington (available alongside Coventry at 9/1 to end up at the summit) remain hot on the heels of the top two after they beat fellow high-flyers Wycombe 1-0 thanks to Mark Hughes' second-half winner.

Under-pressure Crawley boss Harry Kewell saw his side record a much-needed win as they came from behind to beat promotion-chasing Exeter 3-1.

Dean Moxey put the Grecians ahead but the hosts battled back with a penalty from Josh Payne and a brace from Jordan Roberts.

Jamille Matt scored at both ends as Swindon also lost ground near the top of the division with a 3-2 loss at Grimsby.

Mariners striker Matt opened the scoring but then diverted the ball into this own net to put Swindon ahead at the break following Keshi Anderson's equaliser.

Siriki Dembele restored parity for the hosts before Mitch Rose knocked in a rebound for the 86th-minute winner.

Mansfield enjoyed the biggest win of the evening, making it six league games unbeaten with a 4-0 success at Port Vale.

Defender Zander Diamond bagged a brace and a wonder strike from top-scorer Danny Rose was followed by Kane Hemmings' clinical fourth.

At the bottom, there were vital wins for strugglers Barnet and Chesterfield.

The second-bottom Bees ended a 12-game winless league run in dramatic fashion as goals in the last three minutes from John Akinde and top-scorer Shaq Coulthirst earned a 2-1 win at Newport and a first success under new manager Mark McGhee.

Bottom club Chesterfield continued their resurgence under Jack Lester by beating 10-man Forest Green 3-2.

Jak McCourt's double and one from top-scorer Kristian Dennis earned victory, while Christian Doidge claimed a double for Rovers, who had Manny Monthe sent off four minutes after coming on as a half-time substitute.

Elsewhere, a superb 86th-minute strike from Perry Ng gave Crewe a 1-0 success at Morecambe, Stevenage drew 1-1 at home to Coventry and Colchester beat Lincoln 1-0.

In the night's other game, Cheltenham against Cambridge ended goalless.
