Crawley Town 4 - 1 Bristol Rovers
Tyrone Barnett''s goals took his tally for the season to four Crawley continued their excellent start to the season with a thumping victory over Bristol Rovers.
Tyrone Barnett converted Kyle McFadzean''s centre to give the hosts an early lead.
Ben Smith headed home Dean Howell''s cross before Matt Tubbs made it 3-0 with a wonderful free-kick.
Lee Brown''s sliced cross drifted past Crawley keeper Michel Kuipers to give the visitors some hope only for Barnett to lash in a fourth after a neat move.
VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Crawley assistant manager Paul Raynor told BBC Sussex:
We got it right on the day. We took a couple of defeats really badly, but we lifted the morale. We know we''ve got a good squad.
It means we''ve gone to the top of the league which is no mean feat for Crawley Town.
It''s where we want to be, but we''re under no illusions, it''s a tough division.

CRAWLEY Town returned to winning ways as they blew away Bristol Rovers at the Broadfield.
The Reds had lost their last three matches in all competitions but normal service was resumed as Tyrone Barnett, Matt Tubbs and Ben Smith.
Lee Brown notched a consolation goal for the away side, but this was Town's day as they climbed to the top of the table on goal difference.
There was no place in the match day squad for either Dannie Bulman or Scott Davies, as Evans preferred to play three centre-backs with Kyle McFadzean providing stability at the bottom of the midfield diamond.
Despite suffering defeat in their previous three games Town were still backed by a large crowd and they rewarded the home faithful by taking the lead after just 13 minutes. Tyrone Barnett, who had been rested at Southend in midweek, celebrated his return to the side by tapping home from close range after McFadzean had won a crucial header in the Rovers' area.
It was 2-0 on 26 minutes as Ben Smith met Dean Howell's cross eight yards out and headed past the diving Scott Bevan.
Town, who had dominated possession were well worth their lead although they were grateful to Dean Howell who was in the right place at the right time to clear Chris Zebroski's header off the line before the break.
The game continued in the same manor in the second half, with Crawley well on top. Charlie Wassmer had a decent shout for a penalty rejected by referee Oli Langford while McFadzean almost made it 3-0 when he drilled a fierce shot just wide.
At the other end Elliot Richards blasted an effort wide although in truth the away side never looked like getting back in the game. And Town had their third moments later as Matt Tubbs curled a superb free-kick into the net after Torres had been brought down right on the edge of the area.
With 10 minutes to go Lee Brown pulled one back for Rovers when his cross caught out Michel Kuipers and drifted inside the far post.
But any hopes Paul Buckle might have had of seeing his team pull off a remarkable comeback ended as Barnett bagged his second and Town's fourth. The big striker swept home after he got on the end of Tubbs clever flick on.
As the clock ticked past 90 substitute Hope Akpan should have made it five, but he fired over the bar from close range after some more good play from Tubbs.
