But how did Jack Butler rate the Reds' players' performances? Here are his ratings. Do you agree?
5. Jordan Maguire-Drew - 9
By far the best player on the pitch. In the first half, a volley from 20 yards narrowly missed the target. In the second, he was on fire. Sure, a bit one-footed but when you left is as good as his, does it matter?
6. Jack Powell - 8.5
Few quick free kicks which gave Crawley their best chances. Header from 10 yards was straight at the keeper after a wicked delivery from Maguire-Drew. Best moment was a lovely turn that started the move for the second goal. Good day out.
7. Jake Hessenthaler - 7.5
Covered a lot of ground as a midfield two. Always looking forward and went close in the second half after a free kick wasnt cleared by Exeter. Good in the middle as usual.
8. Nick Tsaroulla - 7.5
On his first start since the FA Cup Fourth Round defeat to Bournemouth, Tsaroulla provided a much needed attacking option down the left. Love the way he looks forward all the time and dribbles at such pace. Lovely turn past Jake Caprice to win the penalty.
