Iron take advantage of Swansea slip

Goals from Peter Beagrie, Paul Hayes and Cleveland Taylor sealed the three points, but Bury's win over Swansea at the Vetch Field doubled the impact.

Kevin Nugent had given the Swans the lead after just two minutes, but the Shakers hit back within 60 seconds through David Nugent and Dwayne Mattis then gave them the lead.

Yeovil also lost ground on United with a 3-1 defeat at Lincoln, while Leyton Orient's win at Mansfield tightens the fight for the automatic promotion positions.

Kidderminster lost to Northampton, keeping them rooted firmly to the bottom of the table.

But Oxford eased their relegation fears by beating Chester at the Deva Stadium.
