Ipswich, Argyle and Boro joy

Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna said: “It was a great performance, the whole 90 minutes. From when we got the first goal, we were everything I wanted us to be.”

In League Two, Stevenage got the Champagne corks popping by beating Grimsby 2-0.

On the flip side, Wigan were relegated from the Championship after a 1-1 draw at Reading, while Hartlepool beat Barrow but went down from League Two.
