Notts County's 25-game unbeaten run came to an end at the hands of managerless Dagenham and Redbridge on a frustrating night at Meadow Lane.
The Magpies had taken the lead through Ruben Rodrigues' 14th goal of the season, only for Angelo Balanta to level the scores ten minutes later.
But after several chances falling to the home side, they were undone by another counter-attack - this time Inih Effiong was on hand to fire the Daggers in front to give Steve Gritt and Dave Jupp the perfect start as caretaker manager as the title race swung back into the hands of Wrexham.
