They were replaced by Stevenage, but it was a bittersweet moment for Boro as visitors Carlisle bagged a 2-2 draw with a 90th-minute Joe Garner leveller.

In League Two, Gillingham went top thanks to Shaun Williams’ injury time winner in a 1-0 success against Harrogate. Elliot Lee hit a late winner for Wrexham against Doncaster and Bradford rescued a point against Grimsby late on.
