Crewe Alexandra starlet Nick Powell added to his reputation with a wonder goal in their League Two promotion playoff final victory over Cheltenham.

A target for Manchester United, Powell's spectacular turn and shot after a quarter of an hour will have done his prospects of a big-money move little harm.

Alex made sure of promotion after three seasons in the fourth tier when Byron Moore opened up a flagging Robins backline eight minutes from time.

But Crewe were made to work hard in blistering temperatures before chalking up a 19th game without defeat.

Crewe boss Steve Davis admitted Powell's Wembley wonder-goal was probably his parting gift to the club.

Davis said: "We've not had any solid offers but I think it will come. Next week we may see something develop."

"I've said all season he's a huge talent," added Davis. "He's a special player who produces special things, he's a big-game player. He's done that many times this season and that was his 16th goal.

"I think he can go to the Premier League, he's a very capable lad."
