League One round-up: Shrewsbury continue their march

Stefan Payne’s first-half header put the leaders ahead against the Iron.

Carlton Morris then sealed maximum points with three minutes left for Shrewsbury while Scunthorpe dropped to seventh.

The Northern Ireland international smashed home his first from close range on the half-hour mark.

The striker then made no mistake from the spot when awarded a penalty after he was felled by James Wilson 10 minutes after the break for Paul Cook’s troops.

The Latics travel to Scunthorpe on Saturday.

Charlie Wyke and Nat Knight-Percival were on target as Bradford claimed a 2-0 win against Yorkshire rivals Doncaster to move up to third.

Peterborough dropped down a spot to fourth as Oxford fought back for a 4-1 victory.

Jack Marriott gave the London Road side the lead but Josh Ruffels (48) equalised.

The U’s then took control of the game with Jack Payne setting up both Wes Thomas (53) and Joe Rothwell (75), while Agon Mehmeti (82) added the gloss for Pep Clotet’s men.

Dominic Samuel’s fifth goal of the season was enough for Blackburn as they defeated Gillingham 1-0 at Ewood Park and edged into the top six.

Tarique Fosu-Henry’s hat-trick saw Charlton win 3-1 at Fleetwood.

The Millers sit eighth in the table while Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s troops are still in the bottom four.
