Stockport County's search for a League One play-off place will go to the final game of the season at Barnsley after already relegated Port Vale clinched a 2-1 win at Edgeley Park. The Hatters still require a point to extend their season after Martin Sherif and Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel scored first-half goals to earn Jon Brady's side just a 10th win of the campaign.
Fourth-placed County, who can still be caught by Luton, were unable to recover from a damaging first half and managed only one goal six minutes from time through Odin Bailey.
Vale Race Into Control
Everton loanee Sherif shot the visitors into a fourth-minute lead, sliding in to convert Ben Waine's left-wing cross from six yards. The early goal set the tone for a difficult afternoon for the hosts.
