Dragons back in the top two after victory at Blackpool

WREXHAM took a giant step in their bid to earn promotion from Sky Bet League One by beating mid-table Blackpool 2-1 at Bloomfield Road yesterday.

- 

Club co-owner Rob McElhenney was present to watch James McClean and Ollie Rathbone score midway through the second half and give Phil Parkinson's side all three points on the seaside, despite a late Rob Apter consolation for Blackpool.

It took 23 minutes for the first real chance, but it was a golden one for Wrexham's McClean, who stormed into the penalty area only to be brilliantly denied by Harry Tryer.

Tryer had to be called into action again for Blackpool eight minutes later, firstly saving from Jay Rodriguez in a one-on-one, and then from George Dobson from long range.
