"Wrexham moved to within four points of the Championship playoff places with a 2-1 win over Preston at the Stok Cae Ras. Club record signing Nathan Broadhead nodded them in front in the 28th minute before substitute Ollie Rathbone doubled their lead 12 minutes from time, with Alfie Devine's late consolation not enough to stop Phil Parkinson's men making it back-to-back wins in the league for the first time this season."
"After the fireworks of Wrexham's 5-3 come-from-behind win over Sheffield United on Boxing Day, it was a much slower start three days later. Preston threatened first but Arthur Okonkwo saved bravely at the feet of Brad Potts, making his first start of the season for Preston after a hamstring injury. Wrexham did not get a sight of goal until the 21st minute, but then exploded into life."
