Woeful Wrexham's defensive disasters continued as they were crushed by Rushden & Diamonds at the Racecourse.

A Curtis Osano free kick from his own half set up the first, Daryl Clare given time to control and turn before blasting right-footed past Gavin Ward.

The home defence then failed to deal with Lee Tomlin's ball from the left, Chris Hope heading in from close range.

A simply worked Tomlin free kick gifted Hope his second six minutes from time, the defence again merely onlookers.

The Diamonds' third successive win moves them up to sixth in the table.
