Welcome back to EFL Round-Up by Last Word on Football. This column delves deep into the world of the Football League, looking at the key games from each of the three divisions as well as providing a brief overview of every result from the Championship, League One and League Two.<\/p>\n
With no Championship action this week, we look at the action from League One and League Two. Peterborough are back on track following a hard-fought victory, Notts County manager Harry Kewell endured a nightmare start and the Shakers thumped the Mariners.<\/p>\n
After their 100% start to the season ended last weekend, Peterborough United are now back to winning ways following a 3-2 win at Southend United.<\/p>\n
Matthew Godden made it 1-0 to Posh in the 32nd minute. Then eleven minutes after the break, Godden doubled his and Posh’s tally to make it 2-0, scoring his sixth of the season in the 56th minute.<\/p>\n
But just eight minutes later, Southend were back in the game thanks to a Tom Hopper goal, making it 2-1. Then with just over fifteen minutes to play, the home side completed the comeback as Stephen McLaughlin equalized for the Shrimps.<\/p>\n
However, all of Southend’s hard work came undone, courtesy of an 87th-minute winner from Ivan Toney, who came off the bench to make it six wins from seven for Steve Evans’ side.<\/p>\n
Harry Kewell’s first league game in charge of Notts County was far from ideal. The Australian former Liverpool<\/a> and Leeds player\u00a0was sent to stands as his side were thrashed 5-1 by high-flying Exeter City.<\/p>\n Pierce Sweeney opened the floodgates, making it 1-0 to Exeter in the 17th minute. Just two minutes later, Jayden Stockley doubled the Grecians’ lead to make it 2-0. However, just on the stroke of half-time, Enzio Boldewijn pulled on back for the visitors, reducing the deficit to one.<\/p>\n A minute before the hour-mark, Sweeney scored his second, restoring Exeter’s two-goal cushion, making it 3-1. Then in the 74th minute, Stockley netted his second of the game to give Exeter a 4-1 lead. Finally, in stoppage time, Aaron Martin wrapped up the game for the Devon side, with the defender finishing off the game at 5-1.<\/p>\n Despite Bury’s slow start to the season, they enjoyed themselves in front of goal this week as they thumped Grimsby Town 4-0 at Gigg Lane.<\/p>\n Danny Mayor handed the Shakers a 1-0 lead in the 14th minute, then twenty minutes later Will Aimson added a second to make it 2-0 to Bury. Summer signing Chris Dagnall made it 3-0, scoring in the 63rd minute, then Mayor scored his second and Bury’s fourth, to give Ryan Lowe’s side a 4-0 win.<\/p>\n The win sees Bury move up to 13th whereas Grimsby Town sit 21st.<\/p>\n Accrington Stanley drew 1-1 with Burton Albion in the Lancashire derby. Scott Fraser’s early goal for the Brewers was cancelled out by a late equalizer from the spot by Billy Kee in the 84th minute.<\/p>\n High-flying Barnsley were held to a late draw at home to Walsall. Victor Adeboyejo’s 55th-minute goal for the Tykes could only earn them a point, with Andy Cook levelling the game for the Saddlers in the 88th minute.<\/p>\n A remarkable Blackpool comeback inside the last seven minutes saw them beat Bradford City 3-2 at Bloomfield Road. Bristol Rovers and Plymouth Argyle played out a goalless draw at the Memorial.<\/p>\n Charlton Athletic saw off a determined Wycombe Wanderers side. The Addicks recorded a 3-2 victory at the Valley in Lee Bowyer’s first game in charge since being appointed as manager on a full-time basis.<\/p>\n Luton Town’s tough start to League One continued as they lost 2-1 away to Doncaster Rovers at the Keepmoat while Joe Pigott’s 53rd-minute winner handed all three points to AFC Wimbledon, who beat Gillingham 1-0 on their travels.<\/p>\n A late penalty from Brett Pitman earned a point for Portsmouth, who held Shrewsbury Town to a 1-1 draw. At Glanford Park Scunthorpe United and Rochdale drew 3-3. Despite being 2-0 at half-time, the Iron were pinned back three times, with the Dale getting a hard-earned point.<\/p>\n Sunderland drew 1-1 at home to former Newcastle United<\/a> player Joey Barton’s Fleetwood Town side.<\/p>\n Finally, on Sunday, more pressure was inflicted on Oxford United boss Karl Robinson, with his side losing 2-1 at home to Coventry City.<\/p>\n Carlisle United came from behind to beat Cambridge United 2-1, rewarding their travelling supporters with three points home for the long journey. Ten-man Forest Green Rovers were held to 1-1 draw with Port Vale. Farrend Rawson saw a straight red in the 76th minute after a nasty challenge on Mitch Clark.<\/p>\n Crawley Town provided perhaps the surprise result of the day, beating Lincoln City 1-0 away from home. A Michael Bostwick own-goal was enough for the Sussex club to hold on and take all three points.<\/p>\n Swindon Town were successful on the road as Phil Brown’s side beat Morecambe 1-0 courtesy of Elijah Adebayo’s 26th-minute winner. There was more misery for Northampton Town, who were beaten 3-1 by Cheltenham Town at Sixfields.<\/p>\n Newport County continued their fine form thanks to a Tyreeq Bakinson goal, giving the Exiles a 1-0 against Oldham Athletic. Danny Newton’s 41st minute goal was enough to give Stevenage the win, as they beat Macclesfield Town 1-0.<\/p>\n Tranmere Rovers preserved their unbeaten home start but were held 1-1 against Colchester United at Prenton Park.<\/p>\n All stats from FootyStats<\/em><\/p>\n Main Photo<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nShakers’ Delight<\/h2>\n
