Matt Tubbs gave the home side the lead when he converted a 30th-minute penalty after he had been fouled by Curtis Ujah, who was promptly dismissed.

Robbie Matthews converted a right-foot shot for a second and Andrew Sandell made it three after the break from close range.

Guy Madjo headed a consolation for Crawley but Liam Feeney settled matters in the 75th minute.
