Sheffield Wednesday fans watched their team fight back to secure a draw with Wrexham on Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former Sheffield United striker Kieffer Moore came back to haunt his old rivals on August 23.<\/p>\n

Moore shone for Wrexham<\/a> in the first half, netting twice to put Phil Parkinson<\/a> and Co. in a commanding position going into half-time.<\/p>\n

The Dragons had faced much tougher opponents in their opening two Championship fixtures, but after a solid first half, it seemed likely they would be earning three points.<\/p>\n

That was until a second-half collapse, which saw Wrexham draw 2-2 with Sheffield Wednesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following the tie, Henrik Pedersen has praised the Dragons for one thing they did during the game.<\/p>\n

Two former Wrexham transfer targets scored for Sheffield Wednesday<\/a> after the break to secure a point for the Owls.<\/p>\n

The Yorkshire club came close to winning the fixture in the dying minutes, but their late effort was put straight at Danny Ward.<\/p>\n

The drop-off in the second 45 was huge from the Wrexham<\/a> end, but Pedersen has praised the Welsh club for one thing they did earlier in the match, as per The Star<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt was a tough game, and I\u2019m really proud. I think we had a good beginning until the first goal, and then we came back, but then struggled again. They pressed us very well.<\/p>\n

Pedersen went on to explain the changes he made at half-time to get the better of Parkinson.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cAt the break we changed formation and spoke about the belief to go out and play with a back four, and the discipline and courage to play that second half. We thought there was something still in it, and it was a great performance from the boys\u2026 If we take the first half, we also had chances. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was still an equal first half even if they had more possession, but in the second we had maybe 60%, many more shots and chances. I think it was more than a deserved 2-2, I think if there was going to be a winner today then it must be us.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Pedersen\u2019s half-time words and changes had a positive impact, the Wrexham dressing room message<\/a> clearly didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

Moore shared what was said at half-time in a post-match interview with the club\u2019s media.<\/p>\n

The striker stated: \u201cIt was just to keep at it. It was just, not take our foot off the pedal. It\u2019s just one of them that we know every team that goes 2-0 down is always going to have a reaction.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s what reaction can we give that reaction, and I felt we didn\u2019t really justify that. For the result to be 2-2 in the end, it is disappointing.\u201d<\/p>\n
