Crawley manager Steve Evans believes Tyrone Barnett is the best striker outside of the Premier League.

Former Macclesfield frontman Barnett took his tally for the season to eight goals to put Town on their way to a 2-0 FA Cup win over League One Bury on Saturday. "Some of our players produced big performances, and if there's a better striker outside the Premier League than Tyrone Barnett, then I haven't seen him," said Evans. "Two or three of their players said after the game that he was unplayable."
