Burton 2-1 Crawley

Greg Pearson's late penalty gave Burton a victory which ends Crawley's nine-match unbeaten run and moves the Brewers up to second.

The hosts started brightly but leaders Crawley broke the deadlock when Glenn Wilson fired home from close range after taking Adam Quinn's knockdown.

Pearson levelled with a shot from 12 yards before half time and Burton pressed for the winner after the break.

At the death Pearson was fouled by Dannie Bulman and scored from the spot.
