npower League One leaders Brighton were held to a 1-1 draw at Tranmere as their advantage at the top was cut to two points even though nearest rivals Bournemouth lost the south-coast derby.
Only one of the top 10 prior to kick-off were able to win, with Peterborough's 1-0 victory at Carlisle courtesy of Craig Mackail-Smith moving them into second.
Glenn Murray gave Brighton a 35th-minute lead but they were pegged back by Aaron Cresswell's goal three minutes from time.
A penalty in each half from Ricky Lambert gave Southampton victory over Bournemouth - who had Adam Smith sent off late on - at St Mary's.
Exeter were the only significant movers in the top half as they went seventh, with Jamie Cureton scoring the only goal at home to Rochdale.
Colchester took a 26th-minute lead at MK Dons through Magnus Okuonghae but Angelo Balanta levelled things up midway through the second half.
Brentford, bottom before the start, picked up only their second win of the season as they beat Charlton to move up a place.
Gary Alexander and Toumani Diagouraga had them 2-0 up inside 31 minutes and even Scott Wagstaff's goal late in the second half could not deny the Bees victory.
Their place at the bottom was taken by Walsall, who went down to Yeovil defender Adam Virgo's solitary goal for the visitors.
That result also dropped Leyton Orient into the bottom three despite their 1-1 draw at Oldham, for whom Chris Taylor saw his opening goal cancelled out by Scott McGleish 11 minutes from time.
Dagenham & Redbridge recovered from Swindon forward Thomas Dossevi's goal after just 44 seconds as Damian Scannell and Bas Savage scored in the second half to turn things around.
Bristol Rovers' Will Hoskins snatched an injury-time winner at Huddersfield, who had Jamie McCombe sent off just moments earlier.
Marcus Tudgay and Darren Potter scored as Sheffield Wednesday ended their dismal recent run of form with a 2-0 win at Notts County, who had Alan Judge sent off late in the game.
Leon McSweeney hit an 87th-minute winner to make Hartlepool's long trip to Plymouth worthwhile.
