Wrexham denied by last-minute leveller

It was so nearly a historic day for Reynolds and Wrexham. 

Up against a side three divisions above them, they were clear underdogs ahead of the tie but were ultimately left feeling like they’d been robbed. 

Wrexham had fallen behind to a goal from Oli McBurnie, yet fought back to lead 2-1. Oliver Norwood then equalised, before Paul Mullin put the home side back in front.

"He was moved by the kind of performance today and he said some great words to the lads.
