Oldham Athletic put on a brilliant performance and brought home 3 points away at Crewe Alexandra, curtesy of stunning goals from Peter Clarke and Chris O’Grady.
Frankie Bunn’s starting eleven consisted of Iversen, Dummigan, Clarke ©, Edmundson, Hunt, Lang, Maouche, Missilou, Nepomuceno, Surridge, O’Grady.
It was an even start to the encounter, Crewe Alexandra’s Callum Ainley forced a fine save from the feet of Oldham Athletic goalkeeper Daniel Iversen.
Mohamed Maouche then tested Crewe Alexandra’s Ben Garratt with a freekick, but failed to cause too many problems for the goalkeeper.
And then, Latics took the lead and what a goal it was from club captain Peter Clarke. The experienced defender got the ball on the halfway line and he drove towards to Crewe Alexandra goal, before unleashing an venomous strike from over 30 yards out into the top corner (0-1).

Crewe Alexandra came close to equalising straight away, when Shaun Miller got in behind the Latics defence, but Daniel Iversen was there to deny the forward.
Just before half-time, Latics doubled their lead, when experienced forward Chris O’Grady received the ball on the edge of the box before curling a left-footed effort on the turn into the bottom corner (0-2).

Brilliant performance from 1 to 11. Missolou man of the match. Edmunson also immense. Lang and nepo a threat when they got deep. Sturridge and cog put in the hard yards up top to pin Crewe back. #oafc
