Harrold's first came from the spot following a foul by Lee Collins on Angelo Balanta after 23 minutes. Zebroski then doubled Wycombe's lead on the stroke of half-time before Vale hit back through a Marc Richards penalty.

Zebroski restored Wanderers' two-goal cushion with a 65th-minute strike but they were immediately pegged back by Vale's second goal which came courtesy of Scott Brown's 18-yard strike.

Any hopes Vale fans had of coming away with a point were dashed eight minutes from time, however, when Harrold's 18-yard drive beat Joe Anyon.

Karleigh Osborne's injury-time strike denied Darlington all three points at Griffin Park where they drew 1-1 with Brentford.

Richie Foran headed home from point-blank range from a Franz Burgmeier cross to give the away side the lead, but Osborne's six-yard shot stole a point for the home side.

Wycombe remain top, now two points ahead of Darlington - and with a game in hand.

Dagenham and Redbridge ran riot at Victoria Road where they put Notts County to the sword with a 6-1 hammering.

Paul Benson rounded off the win in the 89th minute when he headed home to secure his hat-trick. Magnus Okuonghae, Matt Ritchie and Ben Strevens were also on target for the hosts while Jonathan Forte grabbed County's consolation.

Macclesfield scored two goals in the last three minutes to beat Barnet 3-1 at Underhill.

Martin Gritton's left-foot volley gave the away side the lead after 12 minutes but John O'Flynn restored parity with a close-range header on the hour.

The game looked set for a draw until Francis Green stunned the home fans with an 18-yard strike after 87 minutes to put the visitors ahead before Nat Brown finished the game off two minutes later.

Andy Bishop and Glynn Hurst scored two apiece for Bury as they hammered Gillingham 4-0 at Gigg Lane.

Both scored either side of the break as the Shakers made light work of the Gills, who missed a second-half penalty through Adam Miller.

Second-half goals from Luke O'Brien and Nicky Law gave Bradford a 2-0 win over Rotherham at Don Valley Stadium.

Goals from Lee Thorpe and Adam Le Fondre gave Rochdale a 2-0 win over bottom side Luton at Spotland while Marvin Morgan's late strike gave Aldershot a 1-0 win over Chester at the Deva Stadium.

James Ryan's second-half strike grabbed a point for Accrington Stanley in their 1-1 draw with Chesterfield at Saltergate.

Richard Walker's second-minute dismissal was the only talking point at Sincil Bank where Lincoln City drew 0-0 with Shrewsbury.
