League Two Crewe shock Derby in FA Cup replay

Published on: 14 November 2023

Aaron Rowe's two goals against Derby were his first goals for more than two-and-a-half years

Aaron Rowe scored twice as League Two side Crewe Alexandra bundled Derby County out of the FA Cup with a first-round replay win at Pride Park.

Tom Barkhuizen gave the League One hosts the ideal start with cool finish after just three minutes, but Rowe's first-half double - and first two goals for the Railwaymen - had the visitors on course for the upset.

Crewe goalkeeper Harvey Davies crucially tipped a Max Bird shot onto the crossbar as the Rams searched for an equaliser before the break.

Mickey Demetriou went on to add a third goal for Crewe with a second-half header to set up a second-round home tie against League One side Bristol Rovers.
