Mason Bennett, Tom Naylor and Mark Duffy all on target for the Brewers who stretch their lead at the top of the table to four points.

Hide AdTheir form is almost as good as Wigan Athletic, 2-0 winners at Sheffield United, nine games without defeat and a point off automatic spots.
Play-off hopefuls Gillingham were held to a goalless draw at Swindon Town and Southend United go level with sixth-placed Millwall with a 3-0 win over Colchester.
Peterborough will think they can contend for a top six spot after a 1-0 win at Chesterfield with nine men at a blustery Proact Stadium.
The Spireites are two points above the bottom four, which contains Crewe Alexandra who recorded a vital three points at home to Rochdale in a 2-0 win.
