The result means Wrexham strengthen their grasp on the automatic promotion spots, with Phil Parkinson's men holding a three point gap over fourth-placed Mansfield Town – although the Stags do have a game in hand. The Welsh outfit, who are two points ahead of MK Dons in third and have played a game fewer, are now so close to securing back-to-back promotions.
