Wrexham 1-3 Woking

Woking won for the seventh time in nine National League matches to consign Wrexham to a fourth straight defeat.

The visitors took an early lead when Keiran Murtagh's shot rebounded off the post and trickled over the line after hitting goalkeeper Rhys Taylor's back.

A sublime Dominic Vose free-kick soon brought Wrexham level, but Joe Quigley finished a low cross to restore the lead after the break.

Bruno Andrade added a third after pouncing on Taylor's poor clearance.

Wrexham manager Gary Mills told BBC Radio Wales:

"We can't keep a clean sheet. The actual overall performance wasn't good enough to win a football match. It was no different to what it's been in the last three games.

"I wouldn't say things aren't going our way - we've got to be better as a group of players and I've got to be better.

"I've changed the system a couple of times to try to get a result and try to get a clean sheet that will allow us to win a game."

Woking boss Garry Hill told BBC Surrey:

"I keep saying it every week, we've got a lot of young players with energy in the side and have a lot of belief.

"They play with no fear and we are now a very dangerous side when we attack and break on the counter-attack and we've shown that.

"We've got a small squad and there aren't any favourites with me, you've got to earn what you get.

"I talked to Giuseppe Sole before the game, and with Dan Holman leaving the club this is his chance to grab because he's got to play football and he's got to be knocking on my door of the first team doing a job for this club. He's got to work hard for 90 minutes and he's certainly done that."
