Wrexham continued their impressive start to the League One season with a 2-0 victory over Peterborough at the Weston Homes Stadium. Goals from Jack Marriott and Max Cleworth were enough to secure a third win in four league matches for the visitors.
Wrexham, who have quickly adapted to life in the third tier after securing promotion from League Two last season, were the dominant side throughout the match. They were rewarded for their efforts in the 27th minute when a Marriott shot deflected off Oscar Wallin, past Jed Steer and into the net against his former club.
The visitors appeared to go up a gear after their opener, and Cleworth headed home a Thomas O'Connor corner five minutes before the interval to double their advantage. Elliott Lee almost made it three when his free-kick hit the bar, as Wrexham pressed home their dominance.
Peterborough, who are still searching for their first home win of the season, looked to get back into the game after half-time. Chris Conn-Clarke curled an effort just past the post after 63 minutes, but they were unable to create any clear-cut opportunities in the second half. Paul Mullin should have made it safe for Wrexham when he latched onto a 70th-minute Ryan Barnett cross, but put his effort wide.
The result extends Wrexham's unbeaten run to three games and sees them move into the top four of the League One table, while Peterborough remain in seventh place. It was an impressive performance from the visitors, who looked comfortable throughout the match and will be confident of achieving their goal of securing a third consecutive promotion.
