Wrexham maintained this season's 100% winning home record in League One as they cruised to a 4-1 victory over Northampton Town.

Phil Parkinson's side flew out of the traps at the Stok Racecourse, with James McClean heading Ryan Barnett's cross beyond Lee Burge in the eighth minute.

Cameron McGeehan latched on to Tom Eaves' flick on from a corner to level for Northampton from close range on 27 minutes.

Wrexham restored their lead seven minutes before half-time, with McClean teeing up Jack Marriott who lashed home his fifth goal of the campaign after a teasing Barnett cross.

Elliot Lee headed another Barnett cross beyond Burge in the second-half before McClean's left-footed volley from Barnett's latest impressive delivery capped off a convincing triumph for the Red Dragons.

Victory ensures Wrexham - who move within two points of leaders Birmingham City - remain as the only side in the third tier to have won all (five) of their home league matches this season.

Defeat means the Cobblers - who drop to 20th - have lost three league fixtures in a row for the first time since September 2023.

Wrexham assistant boss Steve Parkin said:

"Any win is pleasing, but I think the manner in which it was achieved was very rewarding for us all.

"We limited a good side, Northampton, and to come out 4-1 on top is very pleasing.

"The key thing for us is to try and produce that quality in the final third, and they did it very well today."

Northampton Town head coach Jon Brady said:

"We were way too soft to play against today. We conceded too many crosses and our defending was nowhere near good enough.

"I’m not going to name names but we lost too many battles and we weren’t aggressive enough. Wrexham were aggressive and we were a bit ive at times in our defending.

“We have to put this right and our next league game is a huge one against Leyton Orient."
