John Rooney scored a stunning free-kick as Chester beat Wrexham in the National League's cross-border derby.

On-loan James Roberts had shot wide before Chester deservedly went ahead through Rooney's 25-yard free-kick.

Dominic Vose levelled from the penalty spot after Blaine Hudson was fouled only for Tom Shaw to restore the home side's lead.

Substitute Kane Richards' header made it 3-1 before Connor Jennings pulled a goal back in stoppage time.

Wrexham manager Gary Mills told 91热爆 Radio Wales:

"We were second best from start to finish. We had a little spell after they scored when we had a couple of chances but other than that we were second best.

"We didn't get ourselves on the front foot like they did and never got going.

"That's not a performance that's going to get us where we want to get to."
