Virgo said: "My goal was one of the most important I've ever scored because the fans would have been wondering what to expect from me after three years away."

Crewe were undone by a last-minute strike from Nicky Forster after Calvin Zola appeared to have salvaged them a late point.

It was The Seagulls' first ever win at Gresty Road.

Virgo's header had marred a first half in which the new-look Alex offered a threat in the shape of new boy Joel Grant, whose positive running often had the visiting defenders on the back foot.
