West Brom Rally Late to Beat Wrexham 2-1

James Morrison's bold late changes restored Albion's momentum, moving them into the Championship play-off places.

Overview

  • Kieffer Moore put Wrexham ahead with a 30-yard strike midway through the second half before West Brom responded with two goals in five minutes to win 2-1.
  • Isaac Price levelled after Jimmy-Jay Morgan's involvement and substitute Aune Heggebo, who had been dropped earlier in the season, came off the bench to score the winner.
  • Manager James Morrison made five starting changes and later said he gave Heggebo no startline explanation to let the player reflect, then credited late substitutes with turning the match.
  • The victory snapped West Brom's two-game losing run and lifted Albion into fourth in the Championship, while Wrexham remain with only two wins from 10 league games and must regroup.
  • The match highlighted how selection and bench management can swing momentum in the Championship and increased short-term pressure on Wrexham's squad and manager Phil Parkinson.
