Sky Bet League Two leaders Lincoln had a man sent off as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Northampton.

Bruno Andrade put the Imps ahead but the hosts were down to 10 men just before the break when midfielder Harry Anderson was shown a straight red card. Defender Aaron Pierre then hauled the Cobblers level from a corner in first-half stoppage time.

Mansfield, though, failed to make up ground as they lost 1-0 at Newport, who followed up their FA Cup heroics as Robbie Willmott, who was on target to help knock out Championship side Middlesbrough, grabbed another crucial strike on 15 minutes.

Third-placed Bury closed the gap to second place down to a point after a 3-2 win at Morecambe. Danny Mayor put the Shakers ahead, with Jay O'Shea scoring either side of half-time. Richie Bennett and substitute Steven Old set up a tense finale, though.

Colchester climbed to fourth with a 3-0 home win over Cheltenham. Kane Vincent-Young and Frank Nouble put the Us in control before the break, with on-loan Shrewsbury midfielder Abobaker Eisa later wrapping things up.

Play-off hopefuls Forest Green were beaten 2-1 at home by bottom club Notts County. Jim O'Brien broke the deadlock on 57 minutes, but Rovers were soon level through a free-kick from Joseph Mills. Dutch winger Enzio Boldewijn won it for the Magpies with 13 minutes left.

Carlisle came from behind to draw 1-1 at home against top-seven rivals Exeter, with Jame Devitt's free kick cancelling out Nicky Law's opener for the visitors.

Michael Doughty scored twice as Swindon won 3-1 at MK Dons, with his goals coming either side of Keshi Anderson's long-range effort.

Campbell's team in 3-3 thriller

At the other end of the table, Macclesfield fought out a 3-3 draw at home to Crewe - with both teams scoring in stoppage time.

Jordan Bowery had given the visitors an early lead, but Scott Wilson equalised. Chris Porter's penalty restored the home side's advantage. Nathan Cameron then headed in a second for the Silkmen on 74 minutes.

George Ray looked to have won it for Crewe deep into added time, but Reece Cole secured a dramatic equaliser for Sol Campbell's side to spark disturbing scenes at the end of the game between the rival sets of supporters.

Oldham were 3-0 winners at Crawley. Johan Branger's free-kick broke the deadlock, with substitute Zachary Dearnley and Gevaro Nepomuceno also scoring late.

David Amoo's first-half goal gave Cambridge a 1-0 home win over Port Vale and Tranmere beat Stevenage 2-0, the visitors finishing with nine men.

Kieron Morris headed Rovers in front in first-half stoppage time. Stevenage defender Ben Nugent was sent off for a second caution with 15 minutes left, and James Norwood then scored again for Rovers. Town substitute Elijah Adebayo was shown a straight red in stoppage time.

Managerless Yeovil were beaten 3-1 at home by Grimsby and finished with 10 men.

Wes Thomas put the Mariners ahead, before an own goal from Yeovil defender Adel Gafaiti made it 2-0. Craig Alcock was sent off on 64 minutes for a second caution before Kristian Dennis scored Grimsby's third. Alex Fisher headed in a late consolation.
