Crewe Alexandra are level on points with leaders Barnet at the top of League Two after the Railwaymen made it two wins from two with a 1-0 success over Northampton. A cheeky finish from Josh March early in the second half proved decisive, but Northampton were left to rue their failure to make more of their first-half chances.
What happened?
A cheeky finish from Josh March early in the second half proved decisive, but Northampton were left to rue their failure to make more of their first-half chances. When Harvey Saunders pulled the ball back across the box, Logan Briggs did not get a clean connection on his first-time shot, which went straight at keeper Tom Booth. Booth was tested by a long-range effort from Connor Lemonheigh-Evans, but Saunders drove wildly over from the right of the box after Briggs slipped him into space.
