Dover Athletic 2-0 Wrexham

Tom Murphy has scored 10 goals in 20 League games for Dover.

Dover stretched their unbeaten league run to 13 matches with a comfortable home win over out-of-sorts Wrexham which lifted them to eighth place.

Tom Murphy pounced to give the hosts a 12th-minute lead after Wrexham's Wes York had spurned two early chances.

Defender Sean Raggett doubled the advantage with a volley after a poor punch by keeper Andy Coughlin.

The Dragons pressed forward after the break, but striker Mark Carrington missed an open goal.

Consecutive defeats leave Kevin Wilkin's team closer to the relegation battle than the promotion places.

In stark contrast with Dover, Wrexham have now won only two of their last 15 games.

But life is sweet for Dover boss Chris Kinnear after his side secured their third consecutive win to move within two points of the play-offs.

Wrexham manager Kevin Wilkin: "Both teams have tried hard in difficult conditions.

"We had a chance in the first minute which we missed and I suppose I'll lament that fact - you know if that goes in the back of the net all of sudden you put Dover on the back foot.

"We've made a couple of mistakes - Mark [Carrington] should have scored a chance that he's put round the post there.

"Overall the lads have worked hard and shown me a reaction and I don't sense that that's a side not giving its all."
