Wrexham were involved in yet another dramatic encounter, as they came back from a two-goal deficit to win 3-2 against Salford City.
A brace from Matt Smith gave Salford a first-half lead at the Racecourse Ground, but Elliot Lee quickly pulled one back from Wrexham, before two late goals from Steven Fletcher and Jordan Davies secured a sensational victory for the hosts.
Wrexham’s rise under owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds just keeps producing drama, and Saturday’s result was the latest in a long line of highly entertaining games the club have been involved in this season.
Ryan Reynolds sends message following victory
Davies’ winning goal in the 89th minute sent the Racecourse Ground into raptures, and co-owner Reynolds was left speechless by the proceedings.
On his Twitter account, he responded to a clip of the goal, and the celebrations that followed, with shocked-face emojis, as he clearly could not find the words to describe the incredible scenes.
Wrexham’s constant drama
Wrexham have not made it easy for themselves at times this season, and have been involved in some high-scoring games.
Only three teams have scored more than Wrexham this season in League Two, but only two have conceded more than Phil Parkinson’s side.
Wrexham have been involved in games with scorelines of 3-5, 4-2, 3-3 and 3-2, with late goals causing both jubilation and heartbreak, but this win over Salford was a significant one.
Wrexham are now fifth in the table, just three points off Stockport at the top, and this was essentially a six-pointer, as Salford are now seven points behind rather than one.
Parkinson’s side now have tough games against Bradford City and Notts County in their next three games, and will hope that this dramatic victory gives them enough of a spark to pick up a run of victories as they chase promotion.
