Wrexham have claimed 13 points from their opening 11 league games of the season

Wrexham ended their wait for a first home Championship win of the season by beating Oxford United 1-0 at the Stok Cae Ras.

Nathan Broadhead struck the only goal of the game in the 14th minute, although it proved far nervier than boss Phil Parkinson would have hoped after Callum Doyle was sent off midway through the second half.

But victory moved the Red Dragons up to 15th in the table and eased concerns over the club's home record as Oxford are left hovering above the relegation zone.

Here are the key talking points to emerge from the contest in north Wales.

Having gone five home league games without a victory, Parkinson looked to alleviate the pressure on his players before the game by stating the quality of the performance was the focus.

And he would have looked on from the dugout with immense satisfaction at the way his side started.
