Two goals from teenage starlet Kamari Doyle helped Crawley to a stunning 4-0 win at Rotherham.
The Brighton loanee struck in each half to give Crawley’s slight survival chances another boost.
Gavan Holohan and Panutche Camara made the scoreline even more emphatic in the last six minutes.
Crawley came agonisingly close to taking the lead twice in one attack as Doyle rattled the woodwork with a free-kick and then Armando Quitirna’s goalbound shot was blocked.
They did go in front in the 23rd minute when Doyle was lurking at the edge of the box and fired elegantly into the top corner after being found by Quitirna.
Rotherham improved in the lead-up to the break with Jonson Clarke-Harris striking the outside of a post with an effort from the edge of the box.
Doyle doubled the away team’s advantage in the 52nd minute as he again found space and clinically drove into the bottom corner.
Holohan added another on 84 minutes after he deftly lifted the ball over goalkeeper Cameron Dawson.
Camara then bagged a fourth in the 87th minute as he finished off another slick move.
