Unlikely hero Will Boyle scored for the second game running as Shrewsbury secured a 1-0 win against 10-man Crawley. The defender's 84th-minute header made it back-to-back wins for the first time since February.
The result lifted Michael Appleton's side three points clear of second-bottom Crawley, turning a tight contest into a significant afternoon at the bottom of the table.
Shrewsbury Shade a Lively First Half
Visiting goalkeeper Jojo Wollacott produced a good early save to keep out Taylor Perry, who was making his 100th Shrews appearance, from long range. Boyle then glanced a header across the face of goal as Shrewsbury had the better chances before the interval.
