Substitute Nathan Broadhead’s equaliser in the 77th minute extended the visitors’ unbeaten run to four games in all competitions.

Lewis O’Brien got the better of Jannik Vestergaard on the right flank and crossed for forward Broadhead, a club-record signing from Ipswich in August, to fire home.

It was another milestone for the Welsh club, who clinched three successive promotions to return to the second tier.

“It was a great night for us,” Parkinson said. “I’m immensely proud of the performance. We have come to a club that nine years ago were winning the Premiership title and we were languishing mid-table in the National League.
