A first-half double from Jack Lankester helped unbeaten Crewe to an emphatic 3-1 win over fellow high-fliers Bristol Rovers.<\/p>\n

Jordan Gibson added a third after the break as Rovers – with boss Steve Evans watching from the stand as he served a touchline ban – sunk to a fourth away defeat in five games, with Bobby Kamwa’s brilliant late strike scant consolation.<\/p>\n

Lankester got Crewe off to a thrilling start with a goal after just 40 seconds. He latched onto a ball from Joel Tabiner, cut in from the right flank and curled an exquisite effort into the far corner past goalkeeper Brad Young.<\/p>\n

Bristol Rovers\u2019 Bobby Kamwa scored a sensational consolation goal after catching Crewe keeper Tom Booth off his line and scoring from well within his own half.<\/span>

Rovers responded quickly and as the ball bounced around the home box, Ciaran Kelly unleashed a shot onto the underside of the crossbar.<\/p>\n

After curling a free-kick just over, Lankester punished the visitors, sending Young the wrong way from the penalty spot after Alfie Kilgour was spotted pulling down Luke Offord at a corner.<\/p>\n

It could have got worse for Rovers shortly afterwards as Adrien Thibaut raced clear and it needed a last-ditch intervention from Jack Sparkes to block the young striker’s effort.<\/p>\n

Rovers improved after the break and Kamwa was slipped clear only to be denied by Crewe goalkeeper Tom Booth.<\/p>\n

But the contest was put out of their reach in the 66th minute. Josh March swept a pass over to the right of the box where substitute Gibson brought the ball down and drilled a fine finish into the far corner.<\/p>\n

Kamwa grabbed a sensational goal in stoppage time when he spotted Booth off his line and drove the ball over him from inside his own half.<\/p>\n

What the result means and next fixtures…<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
