The BURKS

Crewe extended their unbeaten run to four games by beating Rochdale to move within three points of safety.

They took the lead when George Cooper's corner was not dealt with by Dale and Marcus Haber prodded home.

Brad Inman doubled the advantage on the stroke of half-time when he tackled Peter Vincenti in the centre circle and drove forward before striking home.

Ian Henderson should have reduced the deficit, but he drove across the face of goal when free in the box.

Crewe rise a place to 22nd after their first win in over two months.
