Crawley Town 2-0 Yeovil Town

Marvin Elliott's quickfire double on his home debut secured Crawley's win over Yeovil

Marvin Elliott's quickfire double on his home debut secured Crawley victory over Yeovil.

Yeovil should have led, but Joel Grant could only fire against the post with Jamie Ashdown beaten.

Crawley improved, and Elliott gave them the lead when he headed in Gwion Edwards' cross at the far post.

Elliott, who had a trial with Yeovil in the summer, struck again when he converted Jimmy Smith's cross at close range.

Crawley Town assistant manager Paul Groves told BBC Surrey:

"I think any three points is always welcome and today was a tough game, especially in the first half when we had to weather a bit of a storm.

"Once we spoke to the lads and they took that on board some instruction, they carried it out.

"What the team has shown today is that when you are able to field an experienced group of players like that, you have that little bit of know how at the right times in games."

Yeovil Town manager Gary Johnson told BBC Somerset:

"It's really disappointing because we felt that we had the legs and the game to get at them.

"We have seen the best and the worst in the last seven days of our group. That is what it was today, one of our worst performances.

"We created a lot of chances, but we were powder puff all over in both penalty areas. That is shocking, that's poor and we have got to have a good look at why we are powder puff on occasions and Trojans on another, like we were last week."
