LEADING THE WAY

Bilel Mohsni's late double salvo secured Southend United a 3-1 victory at Crewe Alexandra to keep them top of npower League 2.

The Shrimpers had been knocked off top spot temporarily as Matt Tubbs helped Crawley Town to a 1-0 victory at Northampton Town in the day's early kick-off. However, Kane Ferdinand's first-half effort looked set to propel Southend back to the top until Harry Davis levelled for Crewe.

Paul Sturrock's side peppered Alex's defence in search of a winning goal and got two in three minutes, with Mohsni netting in the 88th and then a minute into stoppage time.

AFC Wimbledon sit in the third automatic promotion spot behind Southend and Crawley after usurping Morecambe, who they beat 2-1.

Goals from Jack Midson and Christian Jolley helped the recently-promoted side recover from Stewart Drummond's opener to win at the Globe Arena.

GOALS GALORE

Despite the setback, Swindon regained the lead through Simon Ferry but Harry Pell's last-gasp header earned a share of the spoils.

Plymouth Argyle's match with Accrington Stanley also ended in a high-scoring draw.

After Stanley saw Sean Hessey sent off, Simon Walton scored from the resulting penalty and Ladjie Soukouna extended their advantage in first-half stoppage time.

However, 10-man Accrington responded with gusto and, after Kevin Long pulled one back for the visitors, Padraig Amond ensured they would go back north with a point from the 2-2 draw.

Finally, Shrewsbury Town finished the right side of a five-goal thriller against Barnet at Greenhous Meadow.

The Shrews' two-goal half-time lead - courtesy of Matthew Richards and Terry Gornell efforts - was wiped out as Ricky Holmes and then Mark Marshall netted.
