Bury 3-1 Crewe Alexandra

  • Published

Bury roared back from a half-time deficit as they secured a well-deserved 3-1 victory against Crewe.

Midfielder Jay O'Shea scored twice as the Shakers moved back up to fourth in League Two.

Crewe stunned Bury with a well-taken goal - only their fourth away goal all season - after just three minutes.

Jordan Bowery swung in a cross from the right and veteran striker Chris Porter volleyed home his third in as many games via the post.

Bury went close with a swift response as Nicky Maynard forced a fine point-blank save from Ben Garratt.

Shortly before half-time the visitors almost went two clear when Ryan Wintle fired a disappointing shot straight at Joe Murphy from 12 yards.

Caolan Lavery evened it up for Bury in the 50th minute, slotting home a rebound after Danny Mayor's effort bounced out off the post.

Eight minutes later the hosts were in front when O'Shea converted a penalty after Danny Mayor was shoved by James Jones.

O'Shea side-footed home Bury's third from eight yards after being teed up by Callum McFadzean.
