Dragons' lose top spot on bad night

Wrexham’s winning run came to an abrupt end as a Matty Taylor back heel ensured that Forest Green Rovers took all three points.

The winner came three minutes into the second half as Taylor got the end of James Norwood’s cross, and sent Joslain Mayebi the wrong way.

Dean Keats missed a golden opportunity from the spot on the final minute, after player manager Andy Morrell was brought down. Former Reds stopper Sam Russell who recently joined Rovers from crisis club Darlington, came back to haunt Wrexham, when he denied Keats from twelve yards.

A win for Fleetwood Town against Braintree rounded off a miserable night for Morrell’s men as they lost their spot at the top who now trail by a single point.

Wrexham will look for an immediate return to form on Saturday when they welcome Bath City to the Racecourse.
