Second-placed Barnsley remain six points behind, having played a match less, after they beat Wycombe 2-1 at Oakwell - where there was a lengthy spell of stoppage time following injury to Chairboys midfielder Luke Bolton
Cauley Woodrow put the hosts in front with a penalty on 13 minutes, and grabbed his second just after the hour.
Shortly before that goal there had been an extended delay when Bolton needed treatment from both medical teams and was eventually substituted, which resulted in almost 13 minutes of action-packed additional time being played.
Wycombe defender Adam El-Abd was shown a late red card for violent conduct following an off-the-ball incident with Cameron McGeehan.
Joe Jacobson then pulled a goal back for Wycombe from the penalty spot, but there was to be no more drama before the full-time whistle eventually blew.
In Saturday's early kick-off at Roots Hall, Portsmouth saw their hopes of making up ground in the promotion race dented as Simon Cox's hat-trick saw Southend battle back to earn a 3-3 draw.
Bryn Morris, Ben Close and Oliver Hawkins put Pompey 3-0 up inside 31 minutes, with Cox's goal before the break seemingly only a consolation.
However, the winger set up a tense finale when he converted a penalty with 12 minutes left and then curled in a late equaliser.
Blackpool put their off-field problems behind them as they battled to a goalless draw at fifth-placed Charlton.
Owen Oyston's 31-year reign at Blackpool was ended in the High Court of Justice on Wednesday when a judge appointed receivers to take control of the club.
Coventry beat Walsall 3-0 at the Ricoh Arena. Amadou Bakayoko and Jordy Hiwula-Mayifuila scored against their former club, both goals coming in the space of six first-half minutes. Bright Enobakhare added a late third from the penalty spot.
Gillingham ended a four-match winless run with a 1-0 home win over Scunthorpe.
Mark Byrne's goal on the half-hour proved enough for all three points to lift the Gills out of the relegation zone
Ivan Toney scored a late goal as play-off chasing Peterborough won 1-0 at Oxford, who drop back into the bottom four.
Relegation battlers Shrewsbury were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Burton. Tyrese Campbell gave the Shrews an early lead, but David Templeton headed in a swift equaliser on 11 minutes.
Second-bottom Bradford played out a goalless draw at home against Plymouth.
FRIDAY: Quickfire goals help Sunderland fight back v Stanley
Sunderland avoided a scare in their first meeting with Accrington as goals from George Honeyman and Aiden McGeady rescued a 2-2 draw for Jack Ross' men at the Stadium of Light.
Stanley had failed to register a single goal in their six games in 2019, but took an unlikely lead after 29 minutes when Billy Kee struck from the penalty spot, before Paul Smyth headed his first goal since joining on loan from QPR (52).
The deficit was cut by Black Cats skipper Honeyman three minutes later when he fired home Will Grigg's pass, before experienced winger McGeady levelled proceedings when he tucked in a low shot from inside the area.
The result leaves Sunderland three points off the automatic promotion places in League One, while John Coleman's men are elevated to 15th, though they still have two games in hand over many of the teams around them.
