Wrexham were kept waiting for their first Sky Bet Championship win of the season as they drew 1-1 with Watford. Both goals at the stadium came in the opening quarter, with a Wrexham header cancelled out by Watford’s first league goal. It marked another stalemate for the Red Dragons after a late equaliser denied them on Monday.

Watford sit two points better off following their opening victory and a steady start under new boss Graham Alexander. The Hornets missed chances for a fuller margin, while Wrexham cursed the woodwork twice. Luke Rathbone forced an early save before a tight-angle strike hit the crossbar.

Wrexham led at 14 minutes after a defensive lapse allowed a simple header. Watford levelled midway through the half following a simulation booking, capitalising on a quick break to find Rory Imray, who beat goalkeeper Nicola Ravaglia. Imray caused constant problems from wing-back.

The clash featured intense moments, including a head collision that forced a substitution. Substitutes pushed for a winner in the final quarter, but defensive blocks and wide efforts guaranteed the point. The draw leaves both clubs searching for momentum as the campaign continues.
