BBC match report 

Steve Flack's second-half strike secured struggling Exeter a vital home win over play-off chasing Wrexham, and gave new boss Gary Peters his first win in charge.

The striker slotted home from eight yards after 72 minutes to seal the points, and move the Grecians to within a point of safety.

Wrexham had plenty of chances in an opening period which they dominated.

Top scorer Andy Morrell saw his header fall just wide early on, before Lee Jones' shot forced a fine save from goalkeeper Kevin Miller.

But the Dragons faded badly after the break, and almost went behind midway through the second half when James Coppinger struck the post with a strike from 10 yards.

Wrexham: Dibble, Roberts, Carey, Lawrence, Carlos Edwards, Paul Edwards, Ferguson, Green, Thomas, Morrell, Lee Jones.
