Wrexham kept their promotion hopes on track after fighting back from a goal down to beat Hull City at the KC Stadium.

The home side took the lead on 55 minutes through on-loan ace John Otsemobor. However, Wrexham equalised when Andy Morrell converted from the spot, before the same player grabbed a second 10 minutes before time.

Both sides enjoyed first-half chances. For the Dragons Scott Green turned and fired a powerful shot just wide in the third minute while, after 12 minutes, Lee Trundle shot wide from an acute angle At the other end John Walters curled a shot wide before spurning a great chance to score from eight yards when he fired straight at Andy Dibble.

Shortly after Stuart Elliott did well to win the ball down the left channel, but also fired straight at Dibble, who held comfortably at the near post.

The match really came to life after 25 minutes when Carlos Edwards brought down Eilliott just inside the area.

However, Dean Keates' spot-kick was saved as Dibble pulled off a fine stop low to his left, Dennis Lawrence following up to clear the danger.

City took the lead out of the blue. Elliott's header cannoned off the bar and was cleared, but only to Otsemobor who, from12 yards out powered a shot past the helpless Dibble.

Wrexham were level 12 minutes later when John Anderson brought down Trundle in the area, and Morrell made no mistake with his spot kick which flew into the bottom left-hand corner.

And with full-time on the horizon Morrell profited from a defensive error and, completely unmarked, slotted the ball home from eight yards.
