Wrexham and Leicester City faced off in a Championship meeting on Tuesday evening. Here’s how the players rated.
Wrexham were looking to continue their solid away form when they made the trip to the Midlands on September 30.
The Red Dragons remain winless at home following a stalemate with Derby County over the weekend, but success on the road has been much easier to come by.
Wrexham picked up a first second-tier win in 43 years when they travelled to The Den and beat Millwall 2-0.
More recently, the Welsh powerhouse clashed with Norwich City and, despite some questionable goalkeeping late on, secured a huge 3-2 victory.
Standing in their way this week was a Leicester City team who have just been relegated from the Premier League.

Phil Parkinson’s bold Wrexham call vs Leicester City
After Derby and Leicester, Wrexham are next in action on Friday evening against old League One foe, Birmingham City.
It means Phil Parkinson’s men are having to play three league matches in just six days.
However, that did not stop the manager from selecting the exact same eleven that started against the Rams on September 27.
Kieffer Moore was fit enough to feature after picking up a knock in the previous match, as was in-form wing-back Issa Kabore.
It surely means that he will have to make at least one or two changes when they welcome Birmingham City to the Racecourse Ground on October 3.
Wrexham draw with Leicester City
Leicester dominated for much of the first half, using their pace and power to get plenty of joy out wide.
Wrexham had a couple of chances of their own, with Lewis O’Brien coming close and Moore a threat.
The opening goal of the game went to Leicester, though, with summer transfer target Jordan James slotting home.
It was a well-worked move from the Foxes, but Arthur Okonkwo simply had to do better. He got a hand to what was a weak shot and really should have saved it.
The second half began with Leicester in complete control, penning Wrexham inside their own half for prolonged periods.
Parkinson eventually made changes in the 61st minute, taking off Ben Sheaf and Josh Windass for Matty James and Nathan Broadhead.
Ryan Barnett and James McClean were then brought on, with the former playing a key role in the equaliser.
After receiving a pass from Barnett, O’Brien played a ball across the Leicester box for Broadhead to fire past the keeper.
Wrexham looked the more likely side to score a second late on, but when all was said and done, they came away with a hard-earned point.
