League One

Wrexham

Exeter

Burton

Stockport County

The League Two side went into half-time against Stockport 3-0 down. Isaac Olaofe opened the scoring when he managed to beat defender Ben Tozer to a low ball and knock it into the net. Tozer then committed an awful howler, simply watching a pass go beyond him to allow Olaofe to double the hosts' lead. Ex-Barcelona youth academy star Louie Barry then put his team in an even more comfortable position when he lashed into the Wrexham net.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

McElhenney posted on Twitter at half-time: "Phil’s enthusiasm in the locker room will be off the charts. But never, ever leave a Wrexham game. Come on you reds!"Things only got worse for Wrexham in the second half, though, as Olaofe completed his hat-trick and then Barry set up Paddy Madden to make it 5-0 towards the end of the match, bringing an end to the Welsh team's four-game winning run.<center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Phil’s enthusiasm in the locker room will be off the charts.
