Aldershot Town 0-5 Wrexham
- Published
Jordan Ponticelli scored his second goal in two games
Wrexham bounced back after their FA Cup exit with a clinical display to beat Aldershot in a rearranged game.
Despite losing goalkeeper Rob Lainton through a head injury, Wrexham led 2-0 at the break through Aaron Hayden and Harry Lennon.
Reece Hall-Johnson, on his return from injury, and Jordan Ponticelli extended their lead.
Jordan Davies sealed the win, Wrexham's biggest since a 6-1 win over Stockport County in the FA Trophy in January 2015.
Wrexham move up to ninth in the National League while Aldershot are 22nd after a fifth successive defeat.
The win at the Recreation Ground was particularly sweet for Phil Parkinson's side after the original game in October had been abandoned in the second half due to a waterlogged pitch.
Wrexham had been leading 2-0 through goals from Jake Hyde and Paul Mullins, but referee Sunny Gill blew the final whistle in the 52nd minute.
Visiting players had tried desperately to sweep the rain water off the pitch, but conditions only worsened.
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said:
"It was important we did our talking on the pitch. We were hugely frustrated the last time we came down here but it was about being calm, cool, calculated and getting the job done.
"The lads were outstanding and I'm so pleased for them and I've got to mention the supporters who came down.
"It's a terrific night for us."
