Myles Peart-Harris scored his first senior goal on Saturday, netting the opener in Forest Green Rovers’ 2-2 draw at Port Vale.

After playing 75 minutes in Rovers’ 4-1 defeat to Peterborough on Tuesday night, Peart-Harris started at Vale Park and took just 14 minutes to open the scoring, flicking home Harry Boyes’ near-post free-kick.

Baily Cargill doubled Forest Green’s advantage before the break but two late goals for the hosts denied Rovers an important win. The Gloucestershire side are now 21st in Sky Bet League One ahead of a home game against Portsmouth this weekend. Before that they host Exeter City in the EFL Trophy tomorrow night. 

Sky Bet Championship

In the Sky Bet Championship, Tariqe Fosu and Stoke City’s good form continued following their 2-0 victory over Preston North End.

Fosu impressed on the wing as a pair of second-half goals lifted the Potters up to 13th, just three points off the Play-Offs. On a run of one defeat in six, Stoke host Rotherham United tomorrow night before entertaining Coventry City on Saturday. 

The meeting of Halil Dervişoğlu and Fin Stevens saw a decisive win for Dervişoğlu and Burnley over Swansea City on Saturday. The Clarets scored three first-half goals, adding a fourth before the hour, to move back to the summit of the second tier.

Swansea’s day got worse with Joel Piroe shown a straight red card late on. Dervişoğlu wasn’t involved in the game while Stevens played the final 15 minutes at Turf Moor. Burnley travel to Birmingham and Sunderland this week while eighth-placed Swansea host Reading and Cardiff City. 

Sky Bet League One

Also in the third tier, Daniel Oyegoke played the full 90 minutes in both MK Dons defeats this week.

MK went down 1-0 to Bristol Rovers on Tuesday night before suffering a 4-1 defeat to league leaders Plymouth Argyle at the weekend. Those results leave them a place and two points worse off than Forest Green in the table with an EFL Trophy game at Walsall and a league visit from Wycombe Wanderers to look forward to this week. 

Sky Bet League Two

In Sky Bet League Two, Paris Maghoma’s return from injury couldn’t help AFC Wimbledon avoid defeat to Sutton United on Saturday.

Craig Eastmond’s 30th-minute goal proved the difference at Plough Lane, with AFC dropping to 17th as a result of the defeat.

Maghoma played the full 90 minutes on his return while Nathan Young-Coombes remains sidelined for the Dons due to an injury. AFC visit Rochdale this weekend. 

Lachlan Brook played the final 30 minutes of Crewe Alexandra’s 3-0 defeat to Tranmere Rovers on Friday night. Alex were two down when Brook came on; Elliott Nevitt grabbing his second, and the hosts third, in second-half injury-time to confirm the three points. The two sides meet again tomorrow night in the EFL Trophy before 13th-placed Crewe host managerless Doncaster Rovers at the weekend. 

With Ellery Balcombe still sidelined, Crawley Town climbed off the bottom of the League Two table on Saturday with a 2-1 win over Newport County. 

On the continent

In Europe, Joel Valencia played the full 90 minutes as De Graafschap beat bottom-of-the-table Jong FC Utrecht 2-0 on Friday night.

Both goals came inside the opening 26 minutes, The Super Farmers moving up to 17th in the Dutch second tier with the win. There’s a KNVB Cup tie against Rijnsburgse Boys tomorrow night and a league visit to Den Haag to look forward to this week for Valencia. 

Mads Bidstrup got another 90 minutes under his belt on Sunday, with FC Nordsjaelland staying top of the Danish Superliga despite conceding an 88th-minute equaliser at home to AGF.

Andreas Schjelderup put FCN ahead from the spot in first-half injury-time. However, they were reduced to ten men midway through the second-half, Ernest Nuamah picking up a second yellow, and AGF capitalised with two minutes to play through Thomas Kristensen. FCN, who rested Bidstrup for their 5-0 Cup win over BSF last Wednesday, travel to their nearest challengers, Randers, next Sunday lunchtime. 

Mads Bech was an unused substitute for both OGC Nice’s games this week. OGC were beaten 2-1 by Slovacko in the Europa Conference League on Thursday before drawing 1-1 at Auxerre in Ligue 1 on Sunday. 13th-placed Nice head to Nantes in the French top flight next Sunday afternoon.
