REPORT | Aldershot Town 3 – 4 Wrexham AFC (Wrexham AFC)

Sam Dalby's stoppage-time header secured a dramatic win away to Aldershot Town after a high-scoring encounter at the EBB Stadium.

An excellent Cleworth tackle set up a counter-attack on 72 minutes, as Palmer played Mullin in behind the defence, but Ashby-Hammond stretched out a left leg to save. But Wrexham restored the two-goal lead on 35 minutes. Lee went close again in the 81st minute, working the ball onto his right-foot and shooting low, but Ashby-Hammond saved and the ball was cleared behind for a corner. And on 74 minutes, Lee played Mullin in on his right-foot, but the striker was just off balance as he fired his right-footed shot over. At the other end, Ashby-Hammond had to be out quickly on 59 minutes to beat Palmer to a lofted ball over the top. The second goal on 23 minutes was Wrexham at their very best, however, as Mullin applied the finishing touch to a move that started at the back.

The second half began with neither side able to break through, with Justin Amaluzor coming closest for either side in the 57th minute. The ball had come in from Joe Partington and it initially looked like the ball had gone out of play, and once Jake Hutchinson tucked home the cheers were quickly halted as the referee had indicated a goal kick to Wrexham. However, a thrilling first half had another twist in it for the Shots. Shots were able to fire themselves back into the game just before the 30 minute mark, with Oliver Pendlebury scoring his first goal for the Shots. Justin Amaluzor did well to drive himself into a crossing position, and Jake Hutchinson’s headed effort from the cross went just wide of the Wrexham goal. A shot from Elliot Lee was blocked by Haji Mnoga, and the referee deemed that Mnoga had used his hand, giving Paul Mullin a chance to convert from the spot.

Wrexham leave it late to make sure of victory at Aldershot (LeaderLive)

WREXHAM'S leading scorer Paul Mullin eclipsed last season's tally as Wrexham won 4-3 against Aldershot Town at The Recreation Ground.

Mullin was put through on goal by Palmer but denied by Ashby-Hammon while Tunnicliffe, who replaced O'Connell for the start of the second half, headed over from Luke Young's corner. Amaluzor came even closer for the home side as he only just cleared the bar and with Wrexham being put under more pressure, Jordan only just cleared the bar with a header. Hutchinson netted for Aldershot but the ball went out of play before the cross came in and the goal was disallowed. However, Wrexham went upfield and made it 2-0 in the 23rd minute. Jake Hutchinson headed wide from Justin Amaluzor's centre at the other end but Wrexham then won their first corner of the game and when the danger wasn't cleared, Cleworth's header from Ben Tozer's cross was saved by Asbhy-Hammond. Anthony Forde fed Ollie Palmer who pulled the ball back to Elliot Lee and his shot struck the hand of Haji Mnoga in the area.
