Crewe Alexandra beat Northampton Town 1-0 at home, Josh March's goal on 53 minutes the difference. Northampton dominated the shot count but Crewe made their one big chance count.
The game was goalless until the 53rd minute, when March scored the winner. March had been booked in the 37th minute, and Lee Evans was booked for Northampton in the 87th as Crewe held on.
The numbers show Northampton were the more forceful side: 14 shots to six, six on target to three. Yet Crewe's goalkeeper made six saves, and the only big chance of the game fell to the home side, who took it.
