Elsewhere in English football’s third tier, Louis Thompson featured for 67 minutes of Milton Keynes Dons’ 1-1 draw with promotion-chasing Rotherham United.

Russell Martin’s side have pulled away from the relegation zone in recent weeks to currently sit 18^th and eleven points clear of danger.

On Sunday, Coventry City reached the summit of League One with a 1-0 victory over Sunderland, who themselves are in the hunt for promotion.

Matt Godden’s early strike was the difference at the St. Andrew’s Trillion Trophy Stadium in a closely fought encounter. Sam McCallum once again played the full match at left-back.

In League Two, Swindon Town stayed at the top of the table despite not playing. Their match with Mansfield Town was postponed meaning Diallang Jaiyesimi and co. were allowed a breather.

In Scotland, Akin Famewo and St. Mirren were knocked out of the Scottish Cup at the quarter-final stage following a 2-0 defeat at home to Aberdeen.

However, it was once again a valuable experience for Famewo as he recorded his 10^th consecutive start for the Saints.

In the National League, Timi Odusina played 90 minutes in Hartlepool United’s 1-1 draw at Boreham Wood.

The north-east team are still within touching distance of the play-off spots in 11^th place.

Further down the English football pyramid, goalkeeping duo of Aston Oxborough and Billy Johnson both claimed clean sheets.

Oxborough helped Wealdstone shut out Dartford in a 0-0 draw away from home, strengthening their place at the top of the National League South.

At the bottom, Braintree Town beat Bath City 2-0 to ease their relegation fears with Johnson keeping another clean sheet.
