Sports Mole rounds up this afternoon's League One action.

Sheffield United closed the gap to League One leaders Tranmere to just two points with a 4-1 victory over Stevenage this afternoon.

Swindon returned to the playoff places as they beat West Country rivals Yeovil 4-1 and Bournemouth secured the same result to push Oldham towards the bottom of the table thanks to a Lewis Grabban hat-trick.

Brentford's Antonio German scored a late equaliser to deny Preston a home win.
