Crawley 3-0 Crewe: Town cruise to victory
Saturday 24 November 2018 18:51, UK
Crawley clinched their first win in eight matches with a 3-0 home victory over Crewe in League Two.
Josh Payne's first-half penalty was added to by late goals from Joe McNerney and Dannie Bulman to secure the Reds a first win in any competition in over a month.
The scoreline was harsh on the visitors, who created numerous chances but found Crawley goalkeeper Glenn Morris in inspired form.
Morris kept out a goalbound shot from Shaun Miller before the hosts took the lead with a 14th-minute penalty.
Midfielder Payne calmly stroked home the spot kick after keeper Ben Garratt brought down Dominic Poleon.
