Burton 0 Shrewsbury 2

STEVE COTTERILL felt a win was just around the corner for Shrewsbury.

Tom Bloxham and Matthew Pennington struck to end an eight-match winless league run.

Cotterill said: “It is a case of staying level headed and believe that you are doing the right things. It was a very disciplined and hardworking performance.”

Burton boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink said: “The conditions made it difficult for both teams, but they were stronger and that is disappointing.”
