Woeful Crawley earned a roasting from managers Francis Vines and Vic Bettinelli after their shocking 3-0 defeat by Cambridge City.

Assistant manager Bettinelli saw his side concede three times in the ten minutes leading up to half-time in the premier division clash at the City Ground.

He said: "We fell like a pack of dominoes.

"Up to the first goal it was scrappy but I felt we had the best of the play. However, Cambridge wanted it more than us and that is difficult to swallow."

Crawley were without injured trio Warren Bagnall, Nic McDonnell and Mo Harkin.

Goals by Danny Bloomfield on 32 minutes, Robbie Simpson on 38 and Kevin Wilkin in first-half stoppage time sank the Reds.
