Crawley kept their play-off hopes alive with a hard-fought win against a struggling Ebbsfleet side.

In game of few chances, Crawley took the lead 15 minutes from time when a Danny Forrest flick-on allowed Michael Malcolm to nod in from close range.

The home side doubled their lead when Glenn Wilson set up Charles Ademeno who volleyed home from 12 yards.

Moses Ashikodi fired in a free-kick from the edge of the area to give Ebbsfleet hope but Crawley held on.
