Jordan Davies' first half header earned 10-man Wrexham their first home win of the season with victory over Woking.

Phil Parkinson's side edged a scrappy first half and deserved to go ahead when Paul Mullin's cross fell perfectly for Davies to head home from 10 yards.

David Jones, who replaced Davies in the second half, was sent-off after picking up two yellow cards.

Rob Lainton denied Jordan Maguire-Drew late on with Woking also unhappy they were denied a penalty.

Manager Alan Dowson was shown a yellow card for expressing his displeasure as his side fell to their second loss of the slip and drop down to 10th in the table.

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said:

"Pleased to get the three points - I felt there was a little bit of tension in the air today, possibly because we hadn't got over the line against Notts County and drawn last week and everybody knew we needed a win.

"I thought in the first half we were good, played some good football and had some great chances and didn't take them.

"We got the goal and second half there was a bit of disruption with the injury [to Jordan Davies] and the sending off changes the dynamics of the game and we had to dig deep."
