After the Millers and the Latics drew 1-1 at the New York Stadium, MK closed the gap between them and the two leading sides with a 2-1 victory at Sunderland, whose recent struggle for form continues and who have slipped to seventh. Mohamed Eisa and Connor Wickham won it for MK either side of Ross Stewart’s equaliser, all the goals coming in the second half.
Game of the day was at Adams Park where Wycombe and Cheltenham drew 5-5. Spare a thought for Cheltenham’s Alfie May, who scored four but was still not on the winning side. Wycombe led 3-1 and 5-3 but let it slip.
