“Lovely” – Jack Marriott reacts after crucial role in Wrexham AFC win v Peterborough United

The Red Dragons continued their unbeaten start to the 2024/25 League One season with an impressive win over the Posh at the Weston Homes Stadium.

Marriott opened the scoring against his former club in the 28th minute, latching onto a clever pass from George Dobson and side-footing a deflected first-time finish beyond Jed Steer.

Wrexham have proved that they can compete with the top sides in League One during the first month of the campaign, having beaten Peterborough and drawn with Bolton Wanderers away from home – two sides that reached the play-offs last term.

Wycombe Wanderers and Reading will also be hoping to at least finish in the top-half of the table at the end of the season, and Phil Parkinson’s team have beaten both of those sides already as well.

Marriott, who had two spells at Peterborough, uploaded a post on Instagram after Wrexham’s win against his former club.

Underneath one picture of him scoring his goal, and another of him celebrating during the aftermath, he touched on the fact that he had once played for his opponents in the caption.

“Lovely away day back at a familiar place!” wrote Marriott.

“Fans were unreal throughout, happy to grab another goal but most importantly the three points”
