Crewe knocked out Doncaster Rovers to book their place at Wembley
Preston North End midfielder Lewis Leigh is heading to Wembley with Crewe Alexandra - for the League Two play-off final. Lee Bell’s side will either face MK Dons or Crawley Town on Sunday, 19 May. The latter lead 3-0 after victory in the first leg. Crewe will be waiting for whoever progresses, after becoming only the fourth team in play-off history - to overturn a 2-0 home defeat in the first leg. On Monday, Luke Molyneux and Harrison Biggins struck for Grant McCann’s side.
That sent the tie to penalties and Leigh, who missed the final three games of the regular season and the first leg through suspension, stepped up and calmly slotted home in the shoot-out - to make it 3-2. With it 4-3, Hakeem Adelakun had to score for Doncaster and saw his effort from 12 yards kept out. Leigh will now get the chance to play at Wembley, having come on as a substitute after 85 minutes on Friday night.
