Wrexham 0-2 Rochdale

Wrexham crashed to another home defeat and sunk back to bottom place in League Two as Rochdale eased to victory at the Racecourse Ground.

The visitors took the lead after just seven minutes, when Kallum Higginbotham laid the ball back for Glenn Murray to score from close range.

Wrexham tried to find a reply but were hampered by a nervy defensive display.

Rochdale made things safe when Lee McEvilly forced the ball home from close range against his former club.
