Brentford's Wycombe Wanderers trio of Alfie Mawson, Sam Saunders and Nico Yennaris extended their unbeaten run to seven matches after a 3-2 victory over Luton Town at Kenilworth Road.
All the goals came in the first-half as Saunders' effort was deflected past his own goalkeeper by Fraser Franks after just three minutes but that was quickly cancelled out by Elliot Lee.
Former Brentford striker Paul Hayes put The Chairboys back in front from the penalty spot and Alfie scored his third goal in four matches with a fine run and finish to extend the lead.
Lee grabbed his second just before half-time but that was the end of the scoring as Gareth Ainsworth's side moved four points clear of fourth placed Bury.
Wycombe travel to Dagenham and Redbridge on Saturday in Sky Bet League Two, sitting level on points with second-placed Shrewsbury Town with eight matches of the season to play.
In Sky Bet League One Jack O'Connell and Rochdale had a night to forget as they lost 3-0 away at near neighbours Oldham Athletic.
Rhys Turner scored twice for The Latics either side of a goal from Jonathan Forte as they moved four points off the top six.
Rochdale are a point better off in eighth and do still have a game in hand on all the sides around them ahead of Saturday's home game against Yeovil Town.
Lionel Stone was an unused substitute as Woking kept up the pressure at the top of the Vanarama Conference coming from 2-0 down to beat Torquay 3-2.
Aaron Downes and Louis Briscoe had The Gulls 2-0 up after just 19 minutes as it looked like Woking would lose ground at the top.
However Yemi Odubade and Josh Payne scored in the opening 15 minutes of the half and then Scott Rendell popped up to win it with nine minutes to go.
Woking are now just a point off the top five with six games to play starting with a trip to Chester City on Saturday.
In Denmark Montell Moore was a second-half substitute as FC Midtjelland Reserves lost 2-1 at home to Aalborg.
The visitors took a 2-0 lead into the break thanks to goals from Lukas Spalvis and Donald Jakobsen.
Razak Adebayo Odeyemi pulled one back for a young FCM side midway through the second-half, three minutes before Montell was introduced, but the hosts could not find a leveller after that.
