A last-minute goal denied Maidstone a point after battling back from two goals down against National League giants Wrexham. Aaron Hayden finished a corner to give the visitors victory but the Stones can take great heart from their performance under caretaker boss George Elokobi.

Luke Young and a Paul Mullin penalty put the Red Dragons 2-0 up at the Gallagher. Jack Barham’s double squared the match and at that stage Maidstone looked the more likely winners.

However, there was a cruel twist at the death. Tom Hadler’s return lasted one game - an elbow injury in training ruling him out.

His place in goal went to Yusuf Mersin, in the only change to the side who beat Notts County in the FA Trophy. Wrexham, backed by almost 500 travelling fans, arrived as the form the team in the division having gone 13 league games without defeat, a run stretching back to October.
