Accrington 1-0 Crewe: Colby Bishop fires Stanley to victory
Tuesday 24 November 2020 23:17, UK
Colby Bishop scored the only goal of the game as Accrington extended their unbeaten league run to six games with a 1-0 win over Crewe.
The striker pounced in the 59th minute after a Matt Butcher free-kick was pushed on to the crossbar by Will Jaaskelainen and it dropped down for Bishop to head over the line.
It was also a sixth successive league clean sheet for Stanley, who are closing on the top six with games in hand.
Clear-cut chances were at a premium for both sides before the break.
Crewe's Tom Lowery had a strike blocked by Cameron Burgess in the opening seconds while, at the other end, Joe Pritchard fired narrowly wide.
