Highlights of the Sky Bet League Two match between Crawley and Colchester.

Second-half goals from Reece Grego-Cox and Mason Bloomfield gave Crawley their first win in five league games with a 2-1 home victory over Colchester.

Luke Prosser headed Colchester in front in the first half but the Reds improved significantly after the break.

Crawley gave a first league start to midfielder Tarryn Allarakhia and he was off target mid-way through the first half following a free-kick by Nathan Ferguson.

Colchester threatened for the first time when Frank Nouble set up Brendan Sarpong-Wiredu but he put the ball over from close range.

The U's broke the deadlock on 35 minutes when, from a corner by Kwame Poku, Prosser notched his first goal of the season with a glancing header.

Colchester keeper Dean Gerken was forced into his first save six minutes after the break when he held a low shot from Grego-Cox following a run by Ferguson.

Crawley have scored in every league game since March 30 and they continued the knack with Grego-Cox levelling after 55 minutes with a fierce low shot into the corner.
