The visitors, having been spared relegation, had early chances of their own with Michael Gash heading over from a corner and Michael Gyasi forcing Rob Lainton to palm the ball away following a good run.

But Wrexham responded with a fine free-kick of their own and Davies' eighth goal of the season restored their advantage.
Dean Keates' side went further ahead three minutes before the break when Omotayo ran onto a through ball and coolly slotted past Richardson.
Substitute Jackson had already gone close for King's Lynn early in the second half before he pulled a goal back after Gash's effort had been parried by Lainton.
Ponticelli's header restored Wrexham's two goal advantage although it last for all of five minutes as Jackson scored his second and King's Lynn third.
A goalmouth scramble led to Ponticelli netting again but the goal was not allowed to stand before Omotayo's second of the game sealed a vital win.
