Accrington were crowned League Two champions after beating Lincoln 1-0 at the Crown Ground.

Stanley only needed a point to win the title, but they finished their historic season in style with their 29th victory of the season.

Jordan Clark's goal in the 35th minute was the difference between the two sides.

Wycombe secured automatic promotion with a dramatic win at already relegated Chesterfield.

A Michael Harriman own goal gave Chesterfield the lead in the 39th minute, but Wycombe restored parity when Nathan Tyson scored on the stroke of half-time.

With 14 minutes remaining, Dominic Gape scored the winner to seal promotion to League One with a game to spare.

Exeter's hopes of automatic promotion ended when they were beaten 3-1 at Stevenage with Alex Revell scoring a hat-trick for Borough. Pierce Sweeney's penalty was all Exeter could muster and they must now prepare for the play-offs.

Lee Angol cancelled out Bevis Mugabi's 17th minute opener for Yeovil before Francois Zoko's penalty on the hour mark gave the home side a 2-1 lead.
