A first-half goal from Wales international Nathan Broadhead was enough to secure the Red Dragons’ first home Championship win of the season on Wednesday.

Oxford struggled to provide a threat up front for most of the match until Wrexham defender Callum Doyle was shown a straight red card in the 67th minute for a strong challenge on Siriki Dembele.

However, Wrexham held on to end a run of four games without a win, lifting them up to 15th in the table.

‘There were contrasting verdicts after the final whistle on whether Doyle's sending-off was justified, with manager Parkinson accusing referee Elliot Bell of being too hasty in making his decision.
