Wrexham Beat Preston 2-1 to Enter Top Half, Moore Injury Clouds Win

The result delivers a first run of consecutive league wins this season, keeping the play-offs within four points.

Overview

  • Nathan Broadhead headed Wrexham in front on 28 minutes before substitute Ollie Rathbone added a late second from George Dobson’s through ball.
  • Alfie Devine pulled one back for Preston near the end, but Wrexham held on for back-to-back league victories for the first time this season.
  • Kieffer Moore, the club’s leading scorer, went off before half-time with a suspected hamstring issue after assisting the opener.
  • Manager Phil Parkinson said Moore’s problem does not look too serious, noting the striker took a heavy knock on Boxing Day.
  • The win moves Wrexham up to 11th and within four points of the play-off spots, while ending Preston’s seven-match unbeaten run and dropping them out of the top six.
