Football League Review: Burnley rescue a point, Wigan top League One

Burnley salvaged a point away at Championship promotion rivals Brighton and Hove Albion as Michael Keane's last-gasp header rescued a 2-2 draw on Saturday.

Sean Dyche's side were forced to come from behind twice in order to depart the south coast with a result that keeps them three points clear of Middlesbrough.

Antony Knockaert's deflected strike looped over Tom Heaton to see Chris Hughton's side go into the interval ahead, but Keane sparked scenes of jubilation among the visiting fans with his 93rd-minute header earning a point.

Fulham moved four points clear of the relegation zone by defeating MK Dons 2-1 at Craven Cottage, while Jorge Teixeira's 94th-minute goal saw fellow strugglers Charlton Athletic past Birmingham City by the same score.

Burton Albion went into Saturday's meeting with Bury as League One leaders, but a 1-1 draw saw their winless run extend to three games.

Wigan Athletic capitalised on their slip up, a 5-1 thumping of Shrewsbury Town, who played the last 30 minutes with 10 men following Zak Whitbread's dismissal, sending them one point clear at the summit.

Doncaster Rovers and Colchester United both avoided defeat, but Fleetwood Town's 1-1 draw at Swindon Town means they are no closer to safety.

Despite a 1-1 draw at home to Leyton Orient, York City now find themselves nine points adrift of safety following Stevenage's 1-0 victory at Luton Town.
