Overview

• Lewis O’Brien headed Wrexham in front just before the hour, then Ben Brereton Díaz equalised from 25 yards for his first Derby goal since joining on loan from Southampton.
• O’Brien’s early high challenge on Ebou Adams brought only a yellow card, with TV replays indicating he was fortunate to avoid a red as Derby players protested.
• Derby head coach John Eustace declined to assess the tackle publicly, referencing a previous fine for comments about referees.
• Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson rued missed chances and said the performance showed growth as the team continues to seek a first Championship home win.
• Arthur Okonkwo’s double stop and Jacob Widell Zetterström’s saves, including from Josh Windass, were pivotal in a contest Derby viewed as an improved display that moved them out of the relegation zone.
