Shrewsbury Town Football Club ⚽
Shrewsbury Town suffered a disappointing 3-1 home defeat to Salford City yesterday at The Croud Meadow.
Dan Udoh haunted his former club with a brace, while Sam Clucas provided a brief equalizer for the Shrews.
Ben Woodburn's late free-kick sealed victory for the visitors in front of just over 5,000 home fans. The loss leaves Shrewsbury searching for consistency in League Two.
