League Two

Notts Co.

Newport

League One

Wrexham

Exeter

Notts County started strongly and forced Arthur Okonkwo into a point-blank save with less than two minutes on the clock. Indeed the hosts had the better of the first half but fell behind against the run of play on 20 minutes. Ryan Barnett delivered a great cross in from the right, and Steven Fletcher fired high into the roof of the net from close range. Notts County came back strongly with Okonkwo called into action again before the half was out, while Wrexham also had a let-off when Eoghan O'Connell headed against his own post from a cross by the lively Jodi Jones.Wrexham piled on the pressure after the break, with Elliot Lee glancing a header just wide and Will Boyle heading against the bar from a James McClean corner. However, Notts County had chances to level and were denied an equaliser when Okonkwo produced another important stop from Macaulay Langstaff. The visitors did manage to get the ball in the back of the net through David McGoldrick, but the effort was ruled out for a handball as Wrexham held on for an important three points.

Wrexham goalkeeper <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arthur-okonkwo-wrexham-salford-city-league-two/bltb2181719b95a4f95" target="_blank">Okonkwo has been guilty of some errors</a> this season but was key for the hosts as they picked up all three points and kept a clean sheet on Saturday. The Arsenal loanee had to be alert early on to deny Langstaff and foiled the Notts County striker again in the second half. The visitors did create enough chances to get something out of the game but simply couldn't find a way past Okonkwo in the Wrexham goal. Credit must also go to O'Connell for the clean sheet, as the defender was a rock at the back for the hosts.

THE MVP

Macaulay Langstaff has scored 22 league goals already this season but couldn't add to his tally at the Racecourse Ground. The striker, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/notts-county-striker-macaulay-langstaff-rob-mcelhenney-responds-wrexham-transfer/bltb4025f9c3919d441#cs112ed41d6d35455c" target="_blank">who has been linked with a move to Wrexham</a>, did have chances but was twice denied by Okonkwo as he drew a rare blank. Langstaff, who has previously been told by <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/paul-mullin-goal-rival-macaulay-langstaff-reacts-joke-wrexham-co-owners-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney/blt6151a07fb9e82539#cs72833c337ec35ebb">Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney</a> to "f*ck off," will have been eager to show the Welsh side exactly what he could do but it wasn't to be on an afternoon to forget for the usually-prolific 27-year-old.

THE BIG LOSER

Wrexham will have little time to enjoy Saturday's win over their big rivals as they return to action on Tuesday against MK Dons in League Two. They will, however, be buoyed by the fact that both league leaders Stockport County, and second-placed Mansfield Town, both lost, with Tranmere producing a shock 4-0 win against the former at Prenton Park.
