Josh Sims quickly cancelled out Charlie Kirk's opener for Crewe before Harry Pickering hit the winner to bring Rovers two-match winning run at an end.

The result leaves Darren Moore's side with 13 points from their opening seven games with a trip to Plymouth Argyle awaiting on Tuesday night before a home clash with league leaders Lincoln City next weekend.

Meanwhile, Mickey Demetriou fired home after 45 seconds as Newport made light work of Bradford City at Valley Parade to move to the top of Sky Bet League Two.

Demetriou converted a Scott Twine cross then Padraig Amond doubled the Exiles' advantage moments after replacing the injured Saikou Janneh just before half-time.

Matt Dolan's last-minute penalty wrapped up an impressive 3-0 win for Michael Flynn's men, which proved enough to leapfrog Cambridge into first place.

Colchester sunk new boys Harrogate Town with two goals in two minutes from Callum Hariott and Ben Stevenson early in the second half, which proved enough to seal a 2-1 win despite Jon Stead's header on the hour.
