Wrexham extended their winning streak to three games with their 0–2 victory over Exeter City, strengthening their position in the EFL League One standings.
The Red Dragons’ poor defeat to Reading is nothing more than a distant memory. Wrexham bounced back and collected all three points against Wycombe Wanderers, Stockport County and now, Exeter City.
Ollie Rathbone opened the scoring in the 23rd minute and then Jay Rodriguez doubled the visitors’ lead from the spot in the second half. Phil Parkinson’s men cruised to the final whistle and are now within striking distance of a third consecutive promotion.
Here's a look at the top six in the EFL League One table after Wrexham completed their 39th game this season.
Wrexham Standings: EFL League One Table After 39 Games
This weekend was a massive step for Wrexham on their path to the EFL Championship. The Red Dragons now have 77 points with just seven games left in the season. If the club maintains their spot in the table, they can secure direct promotion to the Championship.
Wycombe are Wrexham's biggest competition for the second-place spot. Although the Red Dragons are above them in the standings as of now, Wycombe do have a game in hand; if Mike Dodds' squad comes out victorious, then it will be level with Wrexham.
Every match moving forward for both sides could make or break their spot in the League One standings. Birmingham City, meanwhile, have all-but punched their tickets to the Championship; the Blues have a nine-point lead and a game in hand.
