Drissa Diallo's first goal for Cheltenham earned his side a vital 1-0 win over Crewe at Whaddon Road.

The defender broke the deadlock in the 48th minute when he volleyed in a Josh Payne corner at the near post.

It secured the Robins' first league win since October and piled more pressure on Crewe caretaker boss Dario Gradi.

Crewe freakishly lost two men within the first three minutes, James Bailey, with a blow to the eye, and Calvin Zola, who was knocked unconscious.
