Burton lose

                
At the Pirelli Stadium, Drew Talbot's 52nd-minute goal gave Chesterfield a narrow victory over automatic promotion hopefuls Burton Albion.York crawled off the bottom of the table after battling to a goalless draw at Bristol Rovers, but Plymouth's win means the Minstermen still find themselves three points off safety.Gillingham stretched their lead at the top of the table to six points despite being forced to settle for a 2-2 draw at play-off hopefuls Fleetwood.Banton's effort went in off the post, while Jamie Cureton missed a great chance for Exeter late on.Starting the day five points clear of closest rivals Port Vale, it took Gills just three minutes to open the scoring when Danny Kedwell fired home from the edge of the box.Jason Banton's 45th-minute strike in front of a Devon derby crowd of 13,251 at Home Park lifted the Pilgrims to 20th place, four points above the drop zone - and John Sheridan's side also have a game in hand.Jamille Matt equalised for Fleetwood just past the half-hour and after Charlie Allen put the visitors back in front, Matt struck again to seal a point.
