Palmer at the double as Wrexham go four points clear

An Ollie Palmer double helped Wrexham go four points clear at the top of the National League with a 4-0 win at Dagenham.

The visitors took the lead just six minutes in when Palmer tucked the ball home from Eoghan O’Connell’s cross.

Jay Bird nearly levelled after a good cross from Inih Effiong, but his effort went wide before James Jones’ powerful shot smashed a post.

Wrexham extended their lead six minutes before the break through a Jordan Tunnicliffe header and Palmer then got his second with a goal four minutes into the second half.

A good pass from Elliott Lee saw Jacob Mendy slot the ball home for a fourth in the 68th minute.
