Forest Green 0-2 Wrexham

Wrexham secured their first away win for five months as a Wes Baynes double earned Dean Saunders' men a comfortable victory at managerless Forest Green.

Visiting striker Marc Williams had a goal disallowed for offside before strike partner Baynes hit a thunderbolt free-kick past keeper Terry Burton.

Baynes added a second after Williams put him through one-on-one.

Keeper Chris Maxwell saved a late Paul Stonehouse shot to ensure Wrexham kept a clean sheet.


Wrexham boss Dean Saunders:
"Wes [Baynes] has come in and done what I thought he'd do and I said to him half-time "you can get five here if you want them" and he could have.

"We never killed them off today - we could have scored eight or nine.

"We've got to punish teams - some of the breakaways we had there - you watch Arsenal on the TV and they're goals.

"And I know it's a different standard, but we've got to take a leaf out of their book."
