Wrexham 1-0 Mansfield
Saturday 9 November 2024 14:42, UK
Ryan Barnett's first goal of the season ensured Wrexham returned to winning ways with a 1-0 success over fellow League One high-flyers Mansfield.
Barnett's low right-foot strike flew past Christy Pym just six minutes into this clash between two of last season's fourth tier promotion-winning clubs.
But Mansfield will wonder how they did not take at least a point and extend the Welsh side's winless run to four games.

The Stags lost Pym to injury after 31 minutes, handing 38-year-old Scott Flinders his first league appearance since March 2022.
But Flinders remained largely untroubled until late on when he saved one-time Mansfield striker Ollie Palmer's header.
Goal machine Paul Mullin also went close to doubling the home side's advantage.
Those untaken chances almost cost third-placed Wrexham taking the points.
Substitutes Stephen Quinn and Ben Waine went close to equalising in the final few minutes of normal time but Wrexham held on.
