Manning and Stephens' late show earns Southampton dramatic win against Wrexham
Briefly

Wrexham made a notable return to the Championship after an extraordinary rise from non-league football, facing Southampton in a match that highlighted their journey. The game saw Wrexham initially take the lead with a penalty from Josh Windass, but late goals from Southampton resulted in a 2-1 comeback victory. The contrast in the teams was evident, with Wrexham featuring seven debutants and Southampton having recently played in the Premier League, illustrating the competitive nature of their matchup and the challenges ahead for Wrexham.
Wrexham, back at this level for the first time since 1982, demonstrated their impressive rise from non-league football with a leading performance, but faced a harsh reminder of the competitive nature of the Championship as Southampton scored twice late to secure victory.
The contrast was notable as Wrexham fielded a team of debutants, including seven new signings, and showcased a journey from near obscurity in non-league ranks to competing against a club that only two years ago played in the Premier League.
