Wrexham came from behind to claim a sixth straight victory as James Jones' winner saw Phil Parkinson's team beat Bromley 2-1.

Corey Whitely steered Bromley in front from Louis Dennis' cross.

Wrexham toiled in the first half, but Paul Mullin scored his 25th goal of the season from the penalty spot after Jordan Tunnicliffe was fouled.

Substitute Jones struck with a deflected effort from the edge of the box 17 minutes from time.

Wrexham, fresh from their win over Championship Coventry City in the FA Cup, struggled to find top gear but the Welsh club found a way to extend their unbeaten run to 19 games in all competitions.

They stay second in the National League but close the gap to Notts County to three points, while Bromley's first defeat in six league outings leaves them 10th.

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson:

"It was a tough game. We came into the high-profile game at the weekend where our physical data was the highest it's been all season, and obviously they (Bromley) have a free weekend.

"We just didn't have a bedrock of doing all the simple things well to get us a foothold in the game in that first period.

"But in terms of character it's a 10 out of 10 tonight. It was a difficult pitch, it was windy, Bromley are a good team at stifling you and making it difficult, so to come out with three points - I really do feel it's as big a win as we have had this season."
