FULL TIME | Wrexham 1-0 Southend United 🔴 A real battle ends in Wrexham claiming all three points! 🔴⚪ #WxmAFC pic.twitter.com/dFTKgHmdzR — Wrexham AFC (@Wrexham_AFC) March 11, 2023 Ollie Palmer's header was well saved by Steve Arnold as the hosts pressed for an opener. However, the Southend goalkeeper then fumbled a Ben Tozer cross into his own net to give Wrexham the lead. Arnold deflected Eoghan O'Connell's shot onto a post and Dan Mooney wasted a good chance for the Shrimpers when he miskicked his effort from 12 yards. Wrexham were rewarded for their battling performance with a new club record of 25 league matches unbeaten and a 17th win in 18 home games. It was perhaps a miracle that the match had even taken place. Conditions were awful before the match, and it's credit to everyone who works for the Welsh side tha
