John Marquis and George Lloyd both scored twice as Shrewsbury recorded only their second League One win of the season with a 5-3 victory at 10-man Crawley.
The lead changed hands three times in a see-saw clash at the Broadfield Stadium which ended with Crawley suffering a fifth successive league defeat for the first time in 19 months.
Shrewsbury broke the deadlock in the 26th minute when striker Marquis netted his first goal for the club with a shot that crept over the line after hitting stand-in keeper Connal Trueman.

But Crawley hit back to equalise only seven minutes later when former Mansfield forward Will Swan opened his account for the Reds from close range, having seen his header rebound off the bar moments earlier.
