RL:Late drama as Crichton penalty helps Dogs topple Eels

Stephen Crichton has kicked a late penalty goal to help Canterbury slow the Bulldogs' worrying run of NRL form with a 14-12 win over Parramatta.

Crichton struck from the tee in the 76th minute at Accor Stadium on Monday after Eels hooker Tallyn Da Silva was penalised for a questionable high shot on Matt Burton.

Burton laid down seeking treatment after Da Silva's contact and failed to finish the match as he was sent for a head injury assessment.

Crichton's penalty got the Dogs home after the first scoreless first half in the NRL in five years.

Cameron Ciraldo's side (5-8) climbed to 13th on the NRL ladder but the first half was a snapshot of Canterbury's season when they dominated possession and territory and outran the Eels by more than 230m.
