"Bristol City salvaged a 2-2 draw against Championship play-off rivals Wrexham, after Max Bird equalised with a thunderous volley in the 89th minute. Wrexham were comfortably the better side in the first half at Ashton Gate and went ahead through Ollie Rathbone's 34th-minute finish. Bristol City boss Gerhard Struber made a triple substitution at half-time, introducing Delano Burgzorg, Jason Knight and Sinclair Armstrong, and the latter made it 1-1 from a tight angle only two minutes after the restart."
"Wrexham went back in front with 14 minutes to play as Joe Williams turned Issa Kabore's cross into his own net, but they could not hold on for a win that would have moved them into the top six. Bird met Knight's cross with a wonderful, first-time strike that rattled the underside of the crossbar on its way in with time running out, keeping ninth-placed Bristol City just a point behind Wrexham, who stay seventh."
"In Tuesday's other game, Terry Devlin scored two goals from distance as Portsmouth won 3-1 at Charlton Athletic to climb to 19th. Devlin's first goal had a hint of fortune as it squirmed past home goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski into the middle of the net, but his second - which came after a Colby Bishop penalty made it 2-0 - was a 25-yard blockbuster that gave Kaminski no chance."
