Salisbury 1-4 Wrexham

Jefferson Louis proved a handful for the Salisbury defence

Wrexham fought back from going a goal behind at Salisbury to crush the overnight Blue Square Premier leaders at the Raymond McEnhill Stadium.

Andrew Sandell's 10th-minute free-kick gave Salisbury an early advantage.

But Shaun Whalley's classy curler put Wrexham level before half-time, before Jefferson Louis struck twice with a header and strong drive into the box.

Whalley capped off a fine comeback with his second in injury time, his 30-yard shot taking a deflection on its way in.


Wrexham manager Brian Little:
"Fair play to Salisbury, in those first 20 minutes they would have got a goal against anyone, they really came out of the blocks and their energy level was unbelievable.

"On a day like this it didn't surprise me that they tired a little, you could see it going out of them and thankfully we were only a goal down.

"We gradually took over the game, and when we got out first goal we were always the better side."
