Highlights of the Sky Bet League One match between shrewsbury and Northampton.

Northampton added to managerless Shrewsbury's problems by running out 4-2 winners at Greenhous Meadow.

Paul Anderson scored twice as the Cobblers produced a strong away performance against a Shrews side who remain bottom of Sky Bet League One.

Northampton almost took an early lead but Anderson's header produced an excellent save from goalkeeper Jayson Leutwiler.

Louis Dodds then went close to a Shrewsbury breakthrough but his close-range effort was impressively blocked by Cobblers keeper Adam Smith.

Northampton edged ahead in the 22nd minute when central defender Gabriel Zakuani headed in a corner from Jak McCourt.

The visitors doubled their advantage nine minutes later when winger Anderson turned the ball home at the far post following a fine run and left-wing cross from JJ Hooper.

Shrewsbury reduced the arrears in the 36th minute, Ivan Toney confidently firing home a penalty against his former club after being brought down by Zakuani.
