Craig Mackail-Smith grabbed a hat-trick to send Wrexham tumbling out of the FA Cup as Peterborough eased to victory. The striker headed home George Boyd's left-wing cross after just 85 seconds.
He doubled the lead before half-time, walking the ball into an empty net after Wrexham keeper Anthony Williams and defender Richard Hope collided.
Mackail-Smith's third was powered in from 15 yards and, although Neil Roberts pulled one back for Wrexham, Aaron Mclean struck late on to seal it.
