FT: Harrogate 1-2 Crewe
Well, that's it for... a couple of days at least.
Crewe and Harrogate will be back in action on Saturday. One looking to consolidate their victory at home to Bromley; the other nursing their wounds with a trip to Fleetwood Town.
League leaders Walsall will be looking to extend the gap between them and neighbours Swindon Town while Newport County look to escape the basement.
Sounds fun, right? See you on Saturday.

You have to give credit to Max Sanders for his goal.
When you look back at the game it just shows that Harrogate are not a million miles away, it's not like they are getting massively overrun against the sides that are expected to be up there.
They do give it a go but they've got unstuck by the better team.

Crewe summariser on BBC Radio Stoke
Max Sanders deserved his goal and the team deserved it.
I thought it was really good performance and there was some good individual performances.
After the goal in the 87th minute it was the only real time Harrogate came forward.
I'm pleased Crewe got the win, a good night all round.
When you win and play well that builds momentum and confidence and we got that tonight.
Harrogate 1-2 Crewe
Image source, Rex FeaturesCrewe upset Harrogate's winning streak to put themselves back in the mix with the top end of the table.
Harrogate got off to a brilliant start with Jack Muldoon's fifth minute opener but struggled once Crewe found their equaliser through Reece Hutchinson's excellent chip.
It took until the 87th minute for Max Sanders to curl in a winner (his first for club, by the way) and cap their dominance.
Second win in a row. Looks like Crewe have found their form again - are you worried, League Two?

Harrogate keeper James Belshaw is sent up top.
The set-piece is out for a goal kick.
That should be it.

A free-kick for the hosts in this final minute.
It's now or never.

It's a shame for Harrogate, they started brightly but Crewe got the equaliser.
We said 20 minutes ago that someone needed a moment of magic and it came for the visitors.
Harrogate have still got time but it just feels like one of those nights. They need to get the ball forward.
Harrogate 1-2 Crewe
The Harrogate substitute needs to be substituted.
Mason Bennett can't play on and on comes Tom Cursons to try and amend his side's losing fate.

Warren Burrell storms into a challenge and the Harrogate captain is booked.
Six minutes added to the clock. A lot can still happen.

It'll all be about game management now because Crewe have got their noses in front.
Harrogate will have to come out and open up now.
Max Sanders
There it is and what a beauty!
Max Sanders drives it forward, cuts it right, winds up and rifles an absolute stunner into top corner.
The keeper has no chance. Controlled, pacy and probably a match winner.
Harrogate 1-1 Crewe
It's all Crewe now.
Can you smell a late winner?

Who knows how much that goal line clearance will mean from Anthony O'Connor.
Harrogate have had to do a lot of defending since Crewe's equaliser.
Harrogate 1-1 Crewe
Wowsers.
Crewe come close to finding the net as a white shirt lets loose and sees it skim by the keeper but Anthony O'Connor has his stopper covered and clears it off the line.

I just thought Josh March slowed up, he accepted the shot and went for power and when you go for power from there you'll miss the target.
Harrogate 1-1 Crewe
Mickey Demetriou is the captain of Crewe for a reason.
He poaches the ball from his own final third and punts it up field towards a lone Josh March.
The striker goes bursting forward and lets off a shot, seeing it rattle the wrong side of the crossbar and out for a goal kick.
Great pass from Crewe's skipper. Could have put a real dampener on today's proceedings for the home side.
Harrogate 1-1 Crewe
Crewe stopper Tom Booth takes a seat to receive some treatment.
It gives the bosses a chance to have a chat before this game comes to a close.
Harrogate have brought themselves back into this but neither have really felt overly threatening in the last couple of minutes.
Will we have a winner?
Crewe climb from 12th to fifth in League Two
Max Sanders' late strike earned Crewe victory at Harrogate, lifting them back into the League Two play-off places.
The Railwaymen fell behind early on but recovered well and went on to dominate large periods.
Harrogate got off to the perfect start, taking the lead after five minutes when veteran forward Jack Muldoon nodded home Reece Smith's left-wing cross at the far post.
Calum Agius fired over for Crewe before the visitors drew level just before the half-hour courtesy of Reece Hutchinson's clever dinked finish from Tommi O'Reilly's corner kick.
Having finished the first half on top, the Railwaymen began the second looking the more likely and almost went in front in the 60th minute through substitute Jack Lankester, who poked Josh March's centre over the top.
Lankester then saw a close-range blast diverted behind by Jack Evans, while March shot into the side-netting.
Substitute Emre Tezgel had a goalbound strike cleared off the line by Anthony O'Connor, before Sanders curled home with just three minutes of the 90 remaining.
