Crewe – Northampton

Crewe secured a narrow 1‑0 victory over Northampton at home, extending their unbeaten run to six matches and moving them up to eighth place with ten points, having scored six and conceded four. The win adds a second triumph to their record this season, while Northampton remain stuck in 17th spot with six points after a solitary win and a negative goal difference of three.
