Alfie Mawson returned to the Wycombe Wanderers side on Saturday and helped them retain top spot with a 4-1 win over in-form Southend United.
The 20-year-old defender missed last Saturday's FA Cup defeat against AFC Wimbledon but returned at the heart of the Chairboys defence on Saturday.
Things started badly for Gareth Ainsworth's side as Jack Payne netted in the second minute but Wycombe roared back to lead 2-1 at half-time thanks to goals from Paris Cowan-Hall and Matt McClure.
Southend were reduced to 10 men before Wycombe sealed the points through two crackers, one from Joe Jacobson and McClure's second of the game.
That result moves Wycombe two points clear of Burton Albion in second with a game in hand over The Brewers.
Fellow Development Squad defender Kieran Morris was also on the winning side on Saturday as Stourbridge moved to within two points of the Evo-Stick League Northern Premier play-off places with a 3-0 win over King's Lynn Town.
Stourbridge are yet to concede a goal since Kieran re-joined them and saw off the Norfolk side thanks to strikes from Will Richards, George Bowerman and Josh Morgan-Parker.
The result moves The Glassboys up to 9th in the table ahead of Tuesday night's Birmingham Senior Cup First-Round tie against Rushall Olympic.
Charlie Adams played the final 10 minutes as Stevenage's poor run of form continued with a 2-0 defeat away at Newport County.
The hosts took the points thanks to first-half goals from Aaron O'Connor and Darren Jones and the result means that Boro have now only won once in their last seven league and cup games.
Will Grigg was a late substitute as third and fourth shared the points at Deepdale when MK Dons travelled to Preston North End on Saturday.
The Dons took the lead six minutes before the break through Carl Baker but Preston equalised mid-way through the second-half when Scott Wiseman scored.
The result extended The Dons unbeaten run to 10 games and leaves them three points off second in Sky Bet League One with a game in hand.
Mark Smith was unable to prevent Hampton & Richmond Borough falling to a second defeat in the Ryman Premier Division after a 3-2 reversal in Essex against Witham Town.
Thomas Collins put The Beavers head before Saheed Sankoh was shown a straight red card for deliberate hand-ball, former Colchester United striker Jamie Guy sending Smith the wrong way to level from the spot.
Guy doubled the hosts lead 10 minutes into the second-half before Kurt Smith wrapped up the points with a quarter of an hour to go.
Charlie Moone's late goal set up a nervy final few minutes but Hampton couldn't find a leveller and sit 17th in the table, six points above the drop zone.
Manny Oyeleke was involved as Aldershot Town crashed out of the FA Trophy at home to lowly Burgess Hill Town.
The Hillians scored the only goal of the goal through Dan Perry after 33 minutes and although Manny came close to equalising with a fine free-kick the visitors held on to secure a remarkable win.
