Coventry City's Reice Charles-Cook goes 578 minutes unbeaten

Coventry's goalkeeper Reice Charles-Cook has overtook Steve Ogrizovic's post-war record of 572 minutes without conceding a goal.

The young stopper didn't have to pick the ball out of his net for an incredible 578 minutes and is the first ever City keeper to keep a clean sheet in his first three league matches for the club.

It looked like Charles-Cook would add another clean sheet to his collection, but Coventry let a two-goal lead slip to draw 2-2 with Swindon Town in Sky Bet League 1

Shola Ameobi starts Bolton Wanderers career with a bang

Despite Bolton sitting bottom of the Sky Bet Championship, Shola Ameobi got off to a flyer after scoring on his debut.

The former Newcastle United striker only signed for Bolton on Friday and started the match against Leeds United on the bench, however Ameobi entered the fray in the 12th minute and went on to score their only goal in a 1-1 draw.

Bolton boss Neil Lennon is clearly happy with his latest signing...

NL: "People raised their eyebrows when we brought Shola Ameobi in, but he’s shown today that'll he make us better." #BWFC

Ryan Brunt strikes late to extend Plymouth Argyle's lead at the top

Ryan Brunt hit an injury-time winner for Plymouth against Luton Town, giving the Pilgrims a four-point lead at the top of Sky Bet League 2.

Argyle took the lead through Carl McHugh, but Luton levelled when Josh McQuoid headed in a rebound. However, the match had six minutes of injury time, giving Brunt just enough time to secure all three points for Plymouth.

Colchester United and Walsall can't be separated in classic

Colchester overturned a two-goal deficit to secure a point in a 4-4 draw with Walsall.

Romaine Sawyers and Milan Lalkovic gave Walsall a 2-0 lead at half-time, but the sides were level by the 52nd minute as Colchester scored twice through George Moncur and Marvin Sordell.

Walsall's lead was restored when George Evans netted early in the second half, however it only lasted three minutes as Colchester's Owen Garvan found an equaliser with a rasping 25-yard half-volley.

The hosts thought they had pulled off a miracle when Darren Ambrose scored in the 80th minute, but a late James O'Connor goal ensured that the two teams went home with a point.

An early contender for Match of the Season...
