Wrexham kept their promotion dream alive with a confident 2-0 home win over Stoke City. Two first-half goals, scored little over a minute apart, lifted the Racecourse Ground crowd and moved Phil Parkinson’s side to just two points behind sixth place with three matches left.
George Thomason struck first on 31 minutes when his inswinging corner sailed straight past keeper Gavin Bazunu. Josh Windass quickly added the second, punishing a loose touch from Aaron Cresswell to slide in his 13th league goal of the campaign.
Stoke, winless on the road since February, rarely threatened until Lamine Cisse hit the bar late on. The defeat leaves the Potters looking over their shoulders, while Wrexham fans dare to dream of a top-six finish.
