WHAT THEY SAID: Asked what happened when Parkinson approached him, Walker told BT Sport: "He's basically trying to say that I was cheating. But I'm sure you guys can see that evidently the geezer's come straight through and kicked me straight in the face."

Parkinson feels the referee made the wrong call when sending his player off, retorting: "That's a soft red card. I just can't see that, it's his trailing leg and there's no real intent there. For me, he's got it wrong. I thought the keeper made a meal of it in all honesty and obviously that influences the referee's decision."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The result leaves Wrexham four points clear of Notts County at the top of the National League, with the latter taking on third-placed Woking later on Saturday.
