IT wasn't easy and the scoreline flattered Wrexham but it was a job well done in the end.

Phil Parkinson's side progressed to the third round of the FA Cup with a 4-1 win against Farnborough.

Paul Mullin gave Wrexham a 49th minute lead and after the plucky National League South side equalised, Elliot Lee put the Reds back in front with a stunning strike.

Mullin then scored two late goals to complete his hat-trick and secure a hard fought victory.

Here's how the players rated:

MARK HOWARD: Could have done better for the goal but also made some good saves to keep Farnborough out. 6

LIAM MCALINDEN: Back in at right wing-back but didn’t have much joy attacking down the right-flank. 5

AARON HAYDEN: Farnborough were tricky opponents but Wrexham stuck to their task. 7

BEN TOZER: It wasn’t easy but Wrexham’s defence held firm. 7

JORDAN TUNNICLIFFE: Another solid performance. 7

CALLUM MCFADZEAN: Was a big threat down the left, came close to a goal and had two assists for Mullin. 7

ELLIOT LEE: Lively display by the playmaker and he scored a brilliant goal to put Wrexham 2-1 up. 7

LUKE YOUNG: A presence in front of the defence and the captain's set-pieces caused problems all afternoon. 7

JORDAN DAVIES: Twice denied by the goalkeeper but stretchered off with a serious knee injury. 6

PAUL MULLIN: Scored a well-taken hat-trick to send Wrexham through to the FA Cup third round. 8

SAM DALBY: Worked hard but didn’t really have any chances. 6
