Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson praised the uplifting presence of owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac as his side held last season’s Premier League side Wolves to a 1‑1 draw at the Racecourse. A first‑half strike from Lewis O'Brien, his first goal of the campaign, cancelled out Adam Armstrong's third strike in four games after just two minutes. Kieffer Moore missed a late chance for the Red Dragons while Anthony Patterson made crucial saves to deny Wolves victory. The result kept Wolves off the Championship summit and lifted Wrexham’s morale following a 1‑0 loss to Sheffield United. Parkinson highlighted the owners’ connection with the club, saying their visits boost staff and players alike. He admitted the midweek win over Middlesbrough had taken its toll but was delighted with his team's honest effort, describing it as "10 out of 10" in terms of commitment. Wolves boss Cesar Peixoto was angered by the draw, feeling his side deserved the win and controlled the game with more possession and chances.

Key moments

  • Lewis O'Brien headed home from Issa Kabore's cross.
  • Adam Armstrong netted his fifth goal of the season.
  • Anthony Patterson saved from Fer Lopez and Tommy Doyle.

The draw leaves Wrexham buoyed and Wolves still yearning for top‑spot glory.
