Grant opened the scoring with an exquisite volley in the third minute after he ran on to keeper Alan Martin's goal-kick and found the top corner of the net from a tight angle. Then, two minutes later, Alex keeper Steve Collis cleared a ball only as far as Stanley striker Michael Symes 40 yards out and he caught Collis off his line and lobbed the ball home.[LNB]Alex did get one back three minutes before the break when John Brayford sent Joel Grant racing clear and he slotted the ball home,[LNB]although it did take a deflection off Stanley defender Tom Lees.[LNB]But their joy was short-lived as a Danny O'Donnell's back-pass fell short and Grant nipped in after 49 minutes to celebrate his second double of the season.[LNB]Grant set up captain Andy Procter, who rifled the ball home after 68 minutes, to make it four before John Miles sent Symes through for a fifth in the 76th minute.[LNB]Joel Grant got a second for Crewe nine minutes from time, pouncing on a Phil Edwards mistake and Luke Murphy lobbed keeper Martin at the death but the points were sealed by then.[LNB][LNB]
