Owen Dale, Lewis Reilly, Jamie Wilkinson & Regan Griffiths struck before the break to put the result beyond doubt, with the team controlling the second period to see out the win.

Dale opened the scoring on five minutes, latching onto a through ball before rifling past the keeper at the near post high into the corner.

Reilly's curling direct free-kick double the lead after 21 minutes. The keeper got a hand to to effort but he couldn't keep the strike out.

Two goals in three minutes on the 25 minute mark settled the result. First, centre-back Wilkinson guided a header home from a well-placed corner kick and then Griffiths converted an effort at the near post from a driven cross to get the side back to winning ways after last week's disappointment at Cardiff.

Crewe: Wardley, Woodcock, Wilkinson, Sass-Davies, Offord, Harrison, Lundstram, Lynch, Griffiths, Dale, Reilly
