Crawley 2-0 Kidderminster

On-loan striker Michael Malcolm bagged a brace to earn Crawley a deserved home victory over 10-man Kidderminster.

The visitors had to play 83 minutes with a man disadvantage after Mark Creighton was shown a straight red card for a bad foul on Jamie Cook.

And Crawley capitalised when Malcolm broke the deadlock from 12 yards - his first goal since September.

The hosts then doubled their lead 19 minutes from time when Malcolm rifled into the top corner from 20 yards.

Kidderminster manager Mark Yates told BBC Hereford and Worcester:

"I said earlier in the season that Crawley were the best footballing side that I had seen - they've got a good team here.

"It doesn't help when you have your captain sent off after six minutes - quite rightly so, I have no qualms about that.

"It just made it doubly-difficult for ourselves against what is a very good team."
