Here come the teams
The teams
Kick off – is an upset on the cards?
Crawley have an early attempt cleared off the line
Crawley have another couple of chances but fail to convert
…and Eastbourne punished them on the counter with Taylor firing home. 1-0.
The Anvils continued to push forward
… but shortly after Town made it 2-0…
…Taylor with the second.
Spot the ball competition
…and then Town made it three with Cuddington on the scoresheet. Totally clinical.
HT: 3-0 to the visitors
Ready for the second half. Has anyone seen the other team?
View from the dugout
The Anvils start the second half on the front foot
The (very angry) Town bench
Crawley poured forward, having great success down the left flank
Crawley pull one back at the second attempt
…and Crawley continue to push forward…
….Crawley had the perfect chance to make it 3-2 shortly after with a penalty
…he runs up…
…but it rattles the bar. And the follow up is nodded over.
…then town go up the other end and make it 4-1. Pogue showing is clash with a lob over the goalie
…with time ticking down, Town made it five after a long ball turned the Anvils’ defence
…it should have been six shortly following good work down the right…
Crawley continued to get caught at the back as they poured more people forward
The sixth came eventually. Pogue squaring the ball across the six yard box….
…and Foster bundles it in…
…Town can finally relax. 6-1 but it should be a lot closer than that.
FT: Cracking match and Town know they’ve dodged a bullet or two
Respect to Crawley Down…
