Will Keane’s double sealed Wigan Athletic’s League One title as they recorded a 3-0 win at Shrewsbury.
Striker Keane ended the campaign as the division’s top goalscorer, taking his tally to 26, to beat Sunderland’s Ross Stewart who finished with 24. The Latics cruised to the title, completing their promotion to the Championship, with Shrewsbury’s Josh Vela scoring an own goal to set the visitors on their way.
Keane’s double ensured Wigan took the points and the title, with Rotherham finishing second despite winning 2-0 at Gillingham – who, as a result, were relegated – thanks to goals from Rarmani Edmonds-Green and Georgie Kelly.
Scott Twine struck four goals as MK Dons finished third with by thumping 10-man Plymouth 5-0 at Home Park. Jordan Houghton was sent off just before half-time for Plymouth, with Harry Darling also on target for the rampant Dons.
Sheffield Wednesday dispatched Portsmouth 4-1 to hold on to fourth, with Lee Gregory, Saido Berahino and Jordan Storey all delivering before half-time. George Hirst had opened the scoring for the visitors, but Wednesday were not to be denied, with George Byers adding to the score at the death.
Nathan Broadhead’s early goal proved enough for Sunderland to defeat Morecambe 1-0 on the road and secure fifth place – and a mouthwatering playoff against Wednesday.
Wycombe leapfrogged into a playoff against Milton Keynes thanks to a 2-1 win at Burton, with Sam Vokes putting Wanderers ahead before Gassan Ahadme’s second-half leveller. Jordan Obita netted late on for Wycombe however, to seal their playoff place.
Doncaster’s relegation was confirmed despite a 1-1 draw at Oxford. Josh Martin’s second-half goal scrambled a point after Billy Bodin put Oxford ahead, but Rovers slipped to 22nd.
Exeter took top spot from Forest Green, and took automatic promotion out of Northampton's hands with a 1-1 draw at Sixfields. Mitch Pinnock's superb opener gave the hosts a half-time lead, but Sam Nombe's leveller means that either Port Vale (at home to Newport) or Mansfield (at Salford) can climb to third with a victory on Monday.
Forest Green are off the top for the first time since September after a 3-1 home defeat to Harrogate. Both sides scored a penalty in the first half before Jack Diamond and Lloyd Curry earned victory for the visitors. Bristol Rovers are up to fourth, level on points with Northampton, after fighting back from two goals down to beat Rochdale 4-3, Aaron Collins completing his hat-trick in the 95th minute.
Swindon climbed into the play-off positions after goals from Josh Davison and Louie Reed earned them a 2-1 home win over Barrow. The Robins climb above Sutton, whose 19-game unbeaten run was ended in emphatic fashion by Bradford City. Charles Vernam scored twice for Mark Hughes' side as they ran out 4-1 winners.
Tranmere kept their play-off hopes alive, and heaped more misery on relegated Oldham, with a comfortable 2-0 win at Prenton Park. Bottom club Scunthorpe drew 1-1 at home to Hartlepool, and Carlisle won their last home game of the season, beating Stevenage 2-1 at Brunton Park. Leyton Orient won their mid-table battle at Crawley 2-0, while Freddie Sears scored twice as Colchester drew 2-2 with Walsall.
Wimbledon’s League One tenure also came to an end, with a battling 4-3 home reverse at the hands of Accrington. Jay Rich-Baghuelou, Colby Bishop and Michael Nottingham had Accrington 3-0 up at the break. Ayoub Assal and Jack Rudoni cut Wimbledon’s deficit, only for John O’Sullivan to grab a fourth for Stanley. Rudoni claimed his second to pull Wimbledon within one goal again, but the hosts could do no more.
Dion Charles’s brace set Bolton up for a 4-2 win over Fleetwood, with Declan John and Jon Dadi Bodvarsson also on target. Barry Baggley and Joe Garner replied for Fleetwood, who remain in League One on goal difference.
Wes Burns bagged a brace with Tyreeq Bakinson and James Norwood also finding the net as Ipswich thrashed Charlton 4-0 at Portman Road.
Alfie May’s added-time goal scrambled 10-man Cheltenham a 2-2 draw at Cambridge. Sam Smith thought his brace had won the day for Cambridge, especially when the Robins had William Boyle sent off with eight minutes to play. But May popped up with his second goal of the game to grab a point for the visitors, to take his league season’s tally to a highly-impressive 23.
Hakeeb Adelakun’s last-minute effort sealed a 2-1 win for Lincoln over Crewe. Chris Long’s first-half goal had the Alex leading until the final quarter, when Tom Hopper equalised before Adelakun stole the spoils.
Lincoln later announced the departure of manager Michael Appleton by mutual consent. City chairman Clive Nates said: “Everyone at the club is grateful for Michael’s contribution as manager, none of us will forget last season and the run to the play-off final which so nearly saw us reach the second tier for the first time in 60 years.
“During our conversations over the past few weeks, it became abundantly clear to us both that this summer was a good time for him to look for a challenge elsewhere and for us to find someone to build on his work over the past three years. There was no fallout and no need for either side to make the decision for the other. He leaves with our total respect.”
