Bobby Grant's double helped Fleetwood Town beat high-flying Burton Albion with a dominant second-half display to climb out of the League One drop zone.

Matty Palmer hit the woodwork for Burton in a tight first half which ended with the hosts a goal up thanks to Jamie Proctor's close-range strike.

The opener allowed Fleetwood to play on the break and Grant's low shot and fine curling strike made it 3-0.

Steven Pressley's first win as Cod Army boss was rounded off by Ash Hunter.

The substitute slid in a late fourth to take his side up to 19th, while the Brewers drop to third following their second successive defeat.

Burton boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink told BBC Radio Derby:

"I thought we were the better side in the first half.

"I thought we were very dominant but then they scored from a break and took the goal really well.

"Second half I thought we started very sloppy and that's not us we chased the game a little bit too much. It didn't work and we were too open."
