Mark Wright scored a superb injury-time goal to give Shrewsbury Town victory away at Crewe.
The Shrews drew first blood, Wright latching onto an awful back pass from Patrick Ada for an easy tap-in.
Shaun Miller put the Railwaymen level, picking up Clayton Donaldson's pass and firing past goalkeeper Chris Neal.
Rhys Taylor saved a penalty for Crewe after Ada brought down Jake Robinson, but Wright got his second, running 20 yards before drilling home.
Shrewsbury manager Graham Turner told BBC Radio Shropshire: "We played extremely well. We had the luxury of a missed penalty, we hit the woodwork twice and we showed a lot of resilience when they were chasing the game.
"I've got a lot of regard for Dario Gradi. Crewe are a good team and we've beaten them - and that's a yardstick for us.
"There were good individual performances, we showed character, and we've set a standard for ourselves away from home."
