"Nathan Broadhead's 14th-minute goal on Wednesday proved enough for Phil Parkinson's side to end their drought, despite Callum Doyle being shown a red card midway through the second half. Wrexham's victory moved them up to 15th place in the Championship. Ex-Ipswich favourite Broadhead settled a nervy and often low-grade encounter after 14 minutes with a right-footed finish, following a corner and Kieffer Moore's assist."
"Perhaps surprisingly, goalscorer Broadhead featured in Parkinson's first change as he was replaced by Josh Windass on the hour. And the Wrexham boss was forced into more substitutes after the flashpoint of Doyle's dismissal for a crude challenge on Siriki Dembele. Referee Elliot Bell had no hesitation showing the former Manchester City youth player a red card, with few complaints either from home supporters. Former Bolton skipper George Thomason made way for Lewis Brunt, while Dembele also came off for ex-Wrexham loanee Mark Harris."
Wrexham ended a 43-year wait for a second-tier win with a 1-0 victory over Oxford United courtesy of Nathan Broadhead's 14th-minute goal. The result snapped a five-game winless start to their Championship campaign and moved the club to 15th place. Broadhead's right-footed finish followed a corner and Kieffer Moore assist. Oxford increased attacking intent after half-time with Will Lankshear replacing Stan Mills, and Will Vaulks tested Wrexham with an effort over the bar. Wrexham played the final stages with ten men after Callum Doyle received a red card for a crude challenge.
