Wycombe went top of Coca-Cola League Two after a 3-1 home victory over Bournemouth allowed them to capitalise on Bury's 3-3 draw at Aldershot.

Matt Harrold (40), Chris Zebroski (60) and Scott McGleish (84) were all on target, with Danny Hollands (57) responding for the hosts.

Bury squandered a three-goal lead given to them by Andy Bishop (24 and 57) and Paul Scott (30), with Rob Elvins (69), Scott Davies (77) and Daniel Hylton (79) fighting back for the home side.

Shrewsbury remain third after a 1-1 draw at Darlington, Sean Thornton (71) cancelling out Alan White's goal (55) for the hosts.

Charlie MacDonald's 15th-minute goal was enough to give Brentford victory over Macclesfield and keep them in fourth, while Dagenham & Redbridge moved up to fifth after Paul Benson (31) and Matt Ritchie (68) scored in the 2-0 win at Rochdale.

Two goals from Adam Stansfield (39 and 43) and one from Richard Logan (seven) lifted Exeter up to seventh after a 3-0 win at home to Gillingham.

Ten-man Bradford were held to a 1-1 draw by bottom side Luton having had Paul Heckingbottom sent off in the 75th minute.

Barry Conlon (79) had put the Bantams ahead only for Michael Spillane (86) to equalise.

Rotherham finally moved on to a positive points total after a 4-1 victory over fellow strugglers Grimsby.

Danny Boshell had given the visitors a 29th-minute lead but goals from Reuben Reid (49), Mark Hudson (57), Michael Cummins (69) and Richie Barker (80) turned things around.

Barnet were 2-1 winners at Accrington Stanley with John O'Flynn, who also missed a penalty, and Ismail Yakubu scoring either side of Colin Murdock's goal for the visitors, who had substitute Robbie Williams sent off.

Morecambe and Chesterfield drew 2-2 as goals from Stuart Drummond (10) and Rene Howe (85) cancelled out efforts from the Spireites' Gregor Robertson (16) and Jamie Ward (21).

Janos Kovacs (45) and Adrian Patulea (57) scored in Lincoln's 2-0 win at Chester, while Jamie Forrester (six) and Myles Weston (66) were on target in Notts County's 2-1 win at Port Vale, whose goal came from Luke Rodgers (48).

here has only been 3 players who made me hold my breath in dread when they picked the ball up anywhere near our penalty area...in their prime Scholes and Giggs... and always Drogba. Awesome player who on his day was the best striker in the world in my opinion.

remember him scoring a 25-yarder, either the season just gone or the one before, against Bolton at the Reebok. I've never seen a ball hit that hard before in my entire life. You could almost feel the shockwave from his foot contacting it 40 yards away in the stands. Didier Droga. You might not have loved him, but you just had to be in awe of him.

den Hazard, def. - 1) that girl in a club who makes eyes at you all night, who allows you to buy her a drink and walk her home arm in arm, who then gives you a suggestive kiss on her doorstep before declaring how tired she is and how she has to be up early the next day. 2) A cock tease.
