Wrexham assistant manager Steve Parkin said:

"We said to the players that we wanted to start games better and they obviously did that. We got off to a great start against a team that maybe hasn't had the best results over the last few weeks but are still very dangerous.

"It ended up being a really good game. They squandered a few chances but so did we.

"We're delighted to win - it's a massive win."
