MARRIOTT'S STUNNER GETS DRAGONS UP AND RUNNING

PHIL Parkinson was overjoyed as Wrexham began life back in League One with three points by beating Wycombe – and hailed Jack Marriott’s wonder-goal in the win.

Wrexham led through Max Cleworth’s early goal before Marriott’s sublime chest and volley before the half-hour.

Richard Kone halved the deficit after half-time before Steven Fletcher restored Wrexham’s two-goal advantage and Chairboys substitute Sam Vokes netted late on.

And Parkinson reserved special praise for Marriott, naming the strike among the best in the Football League.

Parkinson said: “That goal today, I don’t think you’ll see many better goals in the EFL. That was really good link-up play between the two strikers and an outstanding finish.

“You could sense our supporters warm to him not just because of his goal, but his work for the team. He was tireless and I’m very pleased for Jack.

“First 35 minutes, I thought we were outstanding. Everything we set out to do against their shape, we did. We got in some terrific positions, got the goals and they had a little spell before the break.
