That result means Sutton are all-but relegated from the football league. They need a minor miracle with the goal difference to save themselves.

Crawley remain in the play-off places but Doncaster, who won 4-2 against Barrow, will move above the Reds with just a point in their game in hand at Colchester on Tuesday night.

Full-time: Sutton 2-2 Crawley

The full-time whistle has gone and a fight has erupted in the centre circle.

We’re not sure who is involved and how that started but not good scenes

Crawley winner ruled out

Crawley thought they had won it through Danilo Orsi but it’s ruled out for offside.

They were in mid celebration and the substitutes were about to run to join them but the flag was up...

Doncaster lead Bradford 3-2. What a turnaround and this will be nine wins in a row.

Crawley remain in the play-off places but on goal difference only.

Big chance for Crawley!

Adam Campbell had acres of time and space but he didn’t find the right pass or shot.

Not long left now

The man of the moment looks to have rescued Crawley a point.

It took a huge deflection.

Sutton are out of the football league, as things stand.

Lolos does it again!

Bad news for Crawley...

Doncaster have equalised against Barrow. That puts them a point behind and they still have that game in hand.

Adam Campbell is on for Jay Williams. Four minutes remaining
