But the Welsh side notched up six goals of their own with midfielder Juan Ugarte getting five in their 6-4 win.

Wrexham are third from bottom of League One having suffered a ten point deduction after dropping into administration.

But Spaniard Ugarte lifted their spirits and made up for Wrexham's humiliating 5-1 defeat against Pool earlier in the season.

Hartlepool took the lead before Ugarte grabbed a brace in short succession. Joel Porter equalised for Pool, but Ugarte again put Wrexham back in front.

Porter levelled the scores at 4-4 before Mark Jones added Wrexham's fifth with Ugarte putting the result beyond doubt in this 10 goals thriller.

Other notable mentions include Arsenal's 3-0 triumph over Portsmouth.

Thierry Henry was the star of the show, getting a hat-trick to help the Gunners keep within sight of Manchester United.

Arsenal will be hoping the same performance will materialise against Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Wolverhampton Wanderers were rampant against Crewe and stormed to a 4-1 win against Dario Gradi's men.

Carl Cort made up for conceding an early penalty by scoring two in reply with Kenny Miller also netting a brace.

Local rivals West Brom also produced an excellent performance against neighbours Birmingham.

Neil Clement and Kevin Campbell gave the Baggies all three points following their 2-0 win which lifts them above Norwich, who now sit at the foot of the Premiership.

West Brom boss Brian Robson said that his side's change of fortune had been on the cards for some weeks.

He said: "This win has been coming over the past few weeks We've been playing well but not got the just rewards.

"We had to start winning games and that's what's happened. This could drag others into the fight and there'll be teams looking over their shoulders."
