What the press made of the superior 5-0 display
The Chronicle
It was a day of firsts on a memorable afternoon at Gresty Road on Saturday.
David Artell’s first win as manager was the side’s first success of 2017.
The Railwaymen recorded their first victory in a dozen attempts, and Callum Cooke bagged his first career goal to complete the route.
Earlier, Chris Dagnall’s brace got him on the scoresheet for the first time since October, and George Cooper also bagged a double to be the side’s outstanding player - not for the first time.
The result has lifted Crewe to 18th in League Two - six points from the drop zone 0- and surely given them a real shot in the arm in their relegation battle.
