Full-time: Crawley 1-0 Barrow

Job done for Crawley.

Appiah’s fine finish is the difference as Barrow slip closer to the relegation zone.

(90) So nearly a late leveller for Barrow as a powerful shot looks to be heading in but Francomb, standing on the goalline, someone keeps it out!

Three minutes of injury time will be played.

Can Crawley hold on?

(87) Nervy moment for Crawley as a cross is played in but Morris is on hand to claim the ball.

(85) Appiah has a golden chance to seal the points as he is played in one-on-one with Farman but the keeper did well to save it.

Yems is shaking his head, he thinks that should have been 2-0 and game over.

Crawley now have a free-kick as Nichols is fouled.

(82) Hessenthaler picks out Francomb with a superb long range pass but the defender doesn’t make the touch he was hoping for and the keeper comes out to claim.
