Ricky Holmes' first Cobblers goal in four years proved in vain as Owen Dale and then Wintle turned things around. Here are our player ratings...
1. Steve Arnold
Made multiple stops throughout the contest although most were routine, with his best denying Lowery shortly after Martin's red. Seemed slow to react to Dale's equaliser as the ball took an absolute age to hit the net... 7 Photo: Pete Norton
2. Michael Harriman
Up against Kirk and kept him at arm's length in the first-half but Crewe's highly-rated youngster became increasingly influential and set up Dale's equaliser. Put his body on the line with several strong blocks... 6.5
3. Cian Bolger
Won a shedload of headers inside his own penalty box and he needed to given the amount of times Crewe put the ball in there. Suspended for Tuesday's trip to Oxford after picking up his fifth booking of the season... 6.5 Photo: Pete Norton
4. Fraser Horsfall
Very close to making it 2-0 but it was in his own penalty box where he was kept extremely busy and ultimately it proved all in vain. No defence can be expected to withstand the amount of pressure Town were here... 6 Photo: Pete Norton
