Tuesday 27 September 2016 23:18, UK

Substitute Scott Kashket marked his home debut with two goals as struggling Wycombe beat play-off chasing Crewe 5-1.

With Wanderers already three goals ahead at half-time after efforts from Sam Wood, Paris Cowan-Hall and Dominic Gape, Kashket entered the action on 62 minutes before scoring twice in the next seven minutes.

George Cooper netted a consolation but the night belonged to Wycombe who scored five for the first time under manager Gareth Ainsworth.

Wood broke the deadlock on 19 minutes with an easy finish from Paul Hayes' cut back.

The goal looked to have galvanised Crewe but Wycombe struck again with a looping header by Cowan-Hall from Michael Harriman's cross in the 39th minute before Gape's curled finish made it 3-0 on 43 minutes.

Crewe looked to fight back in the second half, with a spell of possession, but conceded again when Kashket beat keeper Ben Garratt to the ball and finished into an open goal.
