Jerome Binnom-Williams scored the 94th-minute goal to complete the comeback, after the newly-promoted side cancelled out Sam Hird's opening goal with Stuart Beavon's second-half strike.

Ben Nugent's first-half equaliser for Crewe Alexandra prevented Walsall from overtaking the Brewers at the top of the table, after Tom Bradshaw broke the game's deadlock with his eighth goal of the season in their 1-1 draw.

Olham Athletic's Dominic Poleon scored a second-half equaliser to cancel out Max Power's opener for 10-man Wigan Athletic.
