Wrexham sealed a well-deserved draw against West Brom as Phil Parkinson's side fought back at the Hawthorns.

The Baggies took the lead through a George Dobson own goal, only for Josh Maja to pile on pressure from the penalty spot after Issa Kabore brought down his opponent at a set-piece situation.

However, in what was completely different second half from the Red Dragons, Josh Windass fired their first home, before Dobson went from zero to hero with an equaliser on Friday, 2 April.

It was anyone's game in the final 10 minutes, but neither could find that illusive winner in the Black Country, especially with Daryl Dike being brilliantly denied by Arthur Okonwko.

Josh Windass sparks incredible comeback at the Hawthorns

It was Windass who got things back on track for the visitors, firing home a beautiful curler from outside the penalty area, before Parkinson's side pushed on for an unlikely point after conceding two early goals.

The 32-year-old has been a revelation for Wrexham since his arrival from Sheffield Wednesday, and it is not clear at all where the club would be without his goal contributions and passion.

Issa Kabore rubs salt into Wrexham wounds

Issa Kabore never looked at his best, even from kick-off, sending an early effort high over the crossbar, and bringing an end to a rather promising Wrexham attack.

Then, when he blatantly pulled Jason Molumby to the floor inside the penalty area, the flying wing-back was always going to struggle to bump up his rating.
