Max Anderson helped Crawley beat basement-club Shrewsbury in a 2-1 victory on the final day of the Sky Bet League One.

The visitors went close just past the half-hour mark, Gavan Holohan brought down the ball in the box and let fly from a close angle, but Shrewsbury managed to clear for a corner.

Just after the break, Crawley won a penalty with Rushian Hepburn-Murphy stepping up to the spot and slotting away from 12 yards. Shrewsbury’s Josh Feeney was shown a red card for dissent.

Crawley doubled their advantage on the hour mark, with Anderson creatively converting into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.

John Marquis went on a surging run soon after and let fly from the edge of the area, but his effort was kept out by goalkeeper Toby Steward.

Minutes later, Armando Quitirna had a free-kick from 20 yards out, which tested Jamal Blackman, but he managed to tip it over the crossbar.

Just before the end, Shrewsbury pulled one back with Mal Benning converting from close range, but Crawley held on.
