Portsmouth extended their lead with a late goal from Tommy Waddingham, securing their position at the top as they prepare for their upcoming match against Wrexham. Birmingham capitalized on Swansea's defeat, securing a 3-0 victory over Millwall, which propelled them into second place with a seven-game unbeaten home start.",
