A brace from midfielder Magno Vieira helped Fleetwood Town to the top of the Blue Square bet Premier table after original leaders Wrexham had fallen to a 1-0 defeat to mid-table Forest Green Rovers.
Along with Vieira’s double, highly regarded striker Jamie Vardy netted his 18th goal of the season to ensure a comfortable victory for Micky Mellon’s side. The win moves Fleetwood a point clear of promotion rivals Wrexham whose unbeaten run, which stretched back to the end of September, was ended by Matt Taylor’s well-executed finish to give Forest Green a deserved scalp over the bookies favourites for a return to the Football League. Dean Keates could have salvaged the visitors a point in stoppage time but for the second consecutive week, failed to convert from the penalty spot to send the Dragons back to North Wales empty handed.
Wrexham player/manager Andy Morrell admitted his side were not at their best but acknowledged the excellent run that had propelled the Dragons to the top of the table. He said: “We’ve been on an incredible run and the lads need to be proud of that, it’s not going to last forever. We could have maybe nicked something when we weren’t at our best but it wasn’t to be.”
