Shilow Tracey’s double and a header from Joel Tabiner helped Crewe secure a 3-1 comeback win over Tranmere to move up to fifth in League Two.
Connor Jennings handed Tranmere an early lead but the Railwaymen hit back with two goals either side of the interval from Tracey before Tabiner wrapped up the points.
There was plenty of early action at Gresty Road as Zac Williams went close for Crewe with a downward header from Max Sanders' corner which just missed the target.
