Wrexham snatched a stunning 3-2 victory at Queens Park Rangers with two stoppage-time goals, catapulting them into the Championship playoff places for the first time this season. Substitute Josh Windass equalized before Ollie Rathbone struck a thumping 30-yard winner in the final moments, capitalizing on a red card for Rangers' Amadou Mbengue.

This dramatic win keeps alive Wrexham's historic push for a fourth straight promotion. Co-owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, the Welsh club is in just its first season back in the second tier since the 1980s. The victory, coming on a difficult pitch, showcases the squad's depth and the impact of their summer spending spree.

Manager Phil Parkinson praised the professionalism of his substitutes, who delivered when called upon. With 29 games played in the 46-match season, the playoff race is heating up. Wrexham now sits in sixth place, holding a crucial position for the end-of-season promotion playoffs.
