Crawley 4-0 Burton

Crawley boosted their play-off hopes by hammering league leaders Burton, who also saw Darren Stride sent off.

Chris Giles headed the home side ahead following a well-worked corner.

Stride was then sent off for bringing down Jamie Cook in the penalty box and Cook picked himself up to slot home the resulting spot-kick.

Mark Byrne missed a golden opportunity for Burton before Danny Forrest fired in a third for Crawley and substitute Lewis Killen headed home the fourth.
