The win sadly saw Wrexham finally be beaten by the 10 point penalty which had been imposed on them earlier this season, while the away team propelled themselves into 5th place and therefore secured the play off place they have been chasing for the last 4 weeks.
A memorable encounter between the two sides and as usual we hear from the major people involved with the game.
What the manager said?
Martin Allen praised his team for their efforts on the pitch,
"The last couple of weeks have been tough, we've not been taking the chances given to secure a top 6th finish, but finally tonight we've done it, I'm pleased for the boys they did well to come back and win that game after the early set back"
He went onto say,
"It's important that we don't get too carried away with ourselves though, apart from making the playoffs we've done nothing, the hard work continues on saturday and will continue until the last minute of the last game which will hopefully be in Cardiff"
What the players said?
Deon Burton spoke to us after the game and he echoed the thoughts of the manager,
"Obviously we're delighted to have made it into the play offs but we can't start celebrating anything yet, we know the hard work it still to come and we still have one league game left"
'Goal Hero' Scott Fitzgerald also had a word with us,
"It's nice to score a goal, especially in such a vital match, we worked hard today and we definetely deserved 3 points, we haven't had too many away victories this season but this is very satisfiying for us"
Stuart Nelson told us,
"It's good the way we came back into the game, even when the chances weren't coming we still played our game cos we knew eventually that we'd get one, it was just a matter of time, the boys didn't panic and we deserved the points in the end"
