Record signing Nathan Broadhead<\/a> was on target as Wrexham<\/a>\u00a0claimed a deserved 2-0 win over Bristol City<\/a> in the English League Championship.<\/p>\n

Broadhead scored only his third league goal since joining the Red Dragons from Ipswich in the summer with a stunning first-half strike at The Racecourse Ground on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The hosts wrapped up victory with an own goal off Robins goalkeeper Radek Vitek after George Thomason’s corner struck the post and rebounded in via the Manchester United<\/a> loanee.<\/p>\n

Victory lifted the Welsh side, who had begun the game in 15th place, within touching distance of the play-off positions and denied City the chance to move to fourth.<\/p>\n

\"\"Nathan Broadhead scored his third league goal of the season.<\/p>\n

Wrexham were good value for the win and were rewarded for a positive start when they took the lead on 16 minutes with Broadhead’s brilliant effort.<\/p>\n

The Wales<\/a> international finished a good move when he curled beyond the reach of Vitek from 25 yards after a break by James McClean<\/a> and lay-off from Thomason.<\/p>\n

The hosts threatened again when Ben Sheaf blasted over but City spurned a chance to level when Anis Mehmeti missed the target after being played in on goal by Yu Hirakawa.<\/p>\n

George Dobson could have doubled Wrexham’s lead when he went through one-on-one but his shot rolled just wide.<\/p>\n

Ross McCrorie<\/a> put the ball in the net for the Robins when he tapped in a loose ball before the break but it was quickly ruled out for a foul on goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo by Emil Riis.<\/p>\n

Wrexham created the first opening of the second period from a quick counter-attack but Thomason fired well over after being released by Broadhead and Kieffer Moore<\/a> shot wide soon after.<\/p>\n

Mehmeti was denied from distance by Okonkwo as City caused occasional problems but Wrexham began to tighten their grip as Moore was thwarted by Vitek after another fast raid.<\/p>\n

The game was put beyond doubt in unusual circumstances 16 minutes from time when Thomason’s inswinging corner smacked the far post and ricocheted into the net off Vitek.<\/p>\n

Thomason had initially thought the goal was his — and it would have been his first for the club — but the final touch was the keeper’s.<\/p>\n

City pushed until the end and Okonkwo tipped over from Mehmeti in the closing moments but the points belonged to Wrexham, who extended their unbeaten league run to seven games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Record signing Nathan Broadhead was on target as Wrexham\u00a0claimed a deserved 2-0 win over Bristol City in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":33214,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8818],"tags":[381,748,393,4884,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-596470","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bristol","8":"tag-bristol","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115619939210147043","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/596470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=596470"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/596470\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=596470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=596470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=596470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
