Sam Smith Seals Wrexham’s Comeback at Sheffield United to Keep Play-off Push Alive

The turnaround keeps Phil Parkinson’s side level with sixth place in a tightening play-off race.

Overview

  • Wrexham won 2-1 at Bramall Lane after trailing to an Andre Brooks strike, with Josh Windass equalising before Sam Smith headed the 78th-minute winner.
  • The victory leaves Wrexham seventh but level on points with sixth-placed Southampton as they rebound from a midweek loss to Watford.
  • Assistant manager Steve Parkin ranked the result among the biggest of Parkinson’s tenure, citing a strong psychological response with key players unavailable.
  • Sheffield United are winless in four and sit 13 points off the top six after wasting multiple chances, a slide Chris Wilder acknowledged post-match.
  • Smith now has nine goals this season and has led the line with Kieffer Moore out with a hamstring injury, with West Brom away up next after the break.
