Sheffield Wednesday went second in League One after a 2-1 victory over Yeovil at Hillsborough, as rivals Huddersfield were held 1-1 by MK Dons.

Wednesday came from behind to close the gap on leaders Charlton, whose game against Rochdale was postponed due to a frozen pitch, to seven points.

Yeovil went in front four minutes before the break thanks to Jonathan Obika's left-footed strike before Jermaine Johnson equalised in the 57th minute.

Reda Johnson then struck home with 10 minutes left on the clock to seal the win for the South Yorkshire club which saw them leapfrog Huddersfield into second place.

The Terriers dropped points at home after they drew 1-1 at home to MK Dons.

Jamie McCombe headed Huddersfield into the lead on the stroke of half-time from the six-yard line when he got on to the end of Kallum Higginbotham's cross.

However, Stephen Gleeson's 30-yard free-kick levelled the score in the 62nd minute with both sides unable to find another breakthrough in the freezing conditions.

Carlisle came from behind to beat Chesterfield 2-1 at Brunton Park as they continued to push for a play-off place.

Drew Talbot put Chesterfield in front in the 16th minute before Ben Parker's header levelled the score midway through the second half.

Francois Zoko sealed the win for the home side with six minutes left on the clock to keep them in seventh place, now level on points with Stevenage in the final play-off place.

In the only other League One game that survived the big freeze, Wycombe beat Tranmere 2-1 at Adams Park.

Adam McGurk fired Tranmere into the lead from 25 yards after just five minutes, but two goals in seven minutes proved to be enough for the home side to take all three points.

Matthew Whichelow headed the equaliser for Wycombe in the 22nd minute before Gareth Ainsworth poked home from close range to seal the win.
