 Man-of-the-match Llewellyn scored and got sent off |
Striker Chris Llewellyn scored and got sent off as 10-man Wrexham ended a run of nine defeats in 10 games. Richard Walker and Sean Rigg had gone close for Rovers, before Llewellyn let loose with a screaming 25-yard goal.
Danny Williams hit the post and debut making striker Tom Craddock should have scored when Llewellyn put him clear.
A two-footed Llewellyn challenge on Steve Elliott led to his red card, before on-loan Middlesborough man Craddock sealed it with a solo strike.
