Posh moved up a place into fifth after their 1-0 win at neighbours Cambridge United and they closed the gap to the automatic promotion places after none of the top three managed to win.

Leaders Portsmouth were held to a 0-0 by lowly Charlton Athletic, while second-placed Derby County went down 2-1 at Barnsley and third-placed Bolton Wanderers were thumped 4-1 in a Lancashire derby at Blackpool.
