Wrexham 2 Rochdale 1
Wrexham must have spent the early part of this game pondering their Christmas Selection boxes, as they made a slow start. The defence in particular must have still been wondering whether to eat the Buttons or the Curly-Wurly next when Paul Tait got his head onto Gary Jones' cross to put the visitors ahead.
But Rochdale's Gareth Griffiths obviously didn't get the Trinidad & Tobago shirt he had asked for, as he pushed Dennis Lawrence in the box to give Wrexham a penalty, which Matt Crowell tucked into the bottom-right corner to level the scores.
It was left to Darren Ferguson to produce the winner, what those with lower standards might call a Christmas cracker, a 30-yard half-volley which sailed into the back of the net.
