Sam Smith kept Wrexham’s play-off push alive as Phil Parkinson’s side beat Sheffield Wednesday, with Manchester City loanee Issa Kabore providing a key spark in the Red Dragons’ performance.
Wrexham went into the game knowing they needed a result to stay in touch with the teams above them, and they delivered against a Wednesday side still struggling at the foot of the table.
Smith was the difference again, finishing clinically to put Wrexham in control and swing the momentum their way. The forward’s goal proved decisive as the hosts controlled long spells and managed the game well.
Kabore, on loan from Manchester City, caught the eye with his energy and drive, helping Wrexham move the ball forward and cause problems down the flank. His impact gave Wrexham extra urgency in key moments as they pushed for the points.
Sheffield Wednesday tried to respond, but Wrexham stayed organised and limited clear chances, seeing out the win to move back into play-off contention.
The result keeps Parkinson’s side in the hunt as the season moves toward its closing stages, while Wednesday’s difficult campaign continues at the bottom.
