"Brilliant afternoon for Wrexham, it was very comfortable," he told BBC Radio Wales.

"They started the afternoon on the back foot, Northampton asked a few questions early on. Wrexham became dominant and got the goal they deserved; they were sailing. 

"The shock of the half came when Northampton found an equaliser. Not for one moment did I see that coming. 

"Wrexham got back to their game well and got that all important second goal before half-time.

"In the second half, the two goals that Wrexham scored from Elliot Lee and James McClean were outstanding.

"The last 15 minutes then became simply †̃ole footballâ€TM. It was a classy performance."

Victory over Northampton moved Wrexham - who sit second - to within two points of League One leaders Birmingham City.
