Luke Foster was sent off early on for the visitors with straight red card for fouling Shaun Whalley as he was through on goal. Jefferson Louis missed the resulting penalty before Steve Evans gave Wrexham a half time lead. The game was not finally wrapped up until the 90th minute when Louis did get on the scoresheet with a great goal.
"They deserve credit for their second-half attitude towards the man down and an aggressive game plan," Little said.
"They went with two forwards and put us under pressure and we nearly paid the price.
"But we played to our strengths, playing quick, getting at them, putting them under pressure and trying to get the ball off them in good areas."
On Jefferson Louis the boss said
"I look at Jeff's goal at the end - it's a magnificent goal and I'm really pleased for him because he's had a few chances in the match to score," Little added,
"He'll make the odd mistake but he's a real handful and we think we've got something there that can cause problems to teams.
"He might have games where it doesn't go for him but he's great for us, leads the line well, is strong and wants to do well."
