Wrexham’s response falls short

Wrexham changed personnel at half-time, bringing on Sam Smith and Max Cleworth. Their own report described an improved second half, but Sheffield United kept the lead through the closing stages. (Wrexham AFC)

Smith had a late header saved by Michael Cooper as the Blades saw out the win. Sky’s match report recorded five shots on target overall, with one coming from Wrexham; that was enough for Brereton Díaz’s goal to decide the contest. (Sky Sports · Wrexham AFC)
