Hayden leaves it late to nod home sub-lime leveller

MIDDLESBROUGH boss Rob Edwards revealed he felt he had to make four halftime substitutes to help find the spark required to deliver a positive result at home to Wrexham.

For long periods it looked as if the Red Dragons could hold on to the lead Josh Windass' seventh-minute strike had delivered.

Despite plenty of pressure, Middlesbrough struggled to find a way back into the game and had to wait until 10 minutes before the end for the goal which earned a 1-1 draw.

Midfielder Hayden Hackney rose above George Dobson in the penalty area to head Callum Brittain's deep cross beyond keeper Arthur Okonkwo to earn a point.

That preserved Boro's unbeaten Championship record at the Riverside this season, and Edwards believes introducing subs Luke Ayling, Sam Silvera, Tommy Conway and Alan Browne at the start of the second half had the desired effect.
