Wrexham 3-2 Ebbsfleet

Jefferson Louis receives the plaudits of his team-mates

A Jefferson Louis brace helped Wrexham recover from Neil Barrett's early goal.

Barrett headed in Stacy Long's corner, before Louis got on the end of Tom Kearney's right-wing cross to tap in.

After the break, Louis powered in a header from Shaun Whalley's cross, before Darius Charles fouled Simon Brown to concede a penalty.

Brown stepped up to hammer home from the spot, Michael Gash's injury time tap in from Mark Ricketts' cross only serving as a consolation.

The victory ended a two-game losing streak for the Dragons, and finished Ebbsfleet's six game unbeaten run.

Wrexham boss Brian Little:
"We were always going to be a little bit nervous in this game so our plan was to be a little bit longer and turn them to try to put them under pressure and try to concentrate on not going a goal behind.

"Then we did, so we were under pressure again, but I thought the commitment and desire to get something out of the game was great.

"We're trying out best. We made a couple of mistakes. At 3-1 we'd made the game comfortable, then switched off for 10 seconds and that got them back into it.

"I was pleased when the final whistle went."
