Lindsey: That win was never in doubt!

VICTORIOUS Crawley boss Scott Lindsey revealed he felt supremely confident about his side’s prospects of beating Tranmere even before a ball was kicked.

The former Swindon manager believed it was “never in doubt” and paid tribute to the “real focus” his players displayed following a home win which lifted them out of the relegation zone. 

Crawley made the worst possible start when keeper Corey Addai slipped on the edge of the area after eight minutes and Harvey Saunders fired into an empty net.

But Aramide Oteh levelled on the half-hour mark when he jinked into the box and hit a right-footed shot beyond stranded ‘keeper Mateusz Hewelt for his fifth goal of the season.
