Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson accused Swansea captain Ben Cabango of deserving a red card after a late challenge on new signing Conor O'Hare. O'Hare, who joined from Sheffield United for £6.5m on deadline day, claimed Cabango admitted he "didn't touch" him, while Parkinson noted Cabango had earlier grabbed Kieffer "around the neck" at the halfway line, earning only a yellow. Parkinson contrasted the incident with Callum Doyle's dismissal for a similar tackle last season, questioning the referee's consistency.

Swansea boss Vitor Matos declined to comment on the decision, deferring to Parkinson. Despite the controversy, Wrexham secured their first win of the season, with Parkinson praising his side's improved performance and noting upcoming fixtures against Burnley and West Ham.
