Wrexham edge out Oxford to climb back into sixth

Wrexham continued their push for automatic promotion with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Oxford United at the Racecourse Ground on Tuesday night. The win moves Paul Mullin's side back into sixth place in League One, keeping their automatic promotion hopes alive with just a handful of games remaining. Goals from Elliot Lee and Paul Mullin proved the difference for Phil Parkinson's men, who showed their resilience to bounce back from a difficult spell in recent weeks. Oxford had taken an early lead through Kyle Edwards, but Wrexham's quality eventually told as they mounted a comeback that will have their American owners smiling from afar. The victory represents a significant psychological boost for Wrexham, who have been competing in the third tier for the first time in their modern history. Mullin's 18th league goal of the season keeps him firmly in the race for the League One Golden Boot, while his partnership with Lee continues to provide the attacking firepower that Wrexham need to secure promotion back to the Championship. Parkinson's side now sit just two points off the automatic promotion places with a game in hand on some of their rivals, setting up a thrilling finale to the season.
