Wrexham earns dramatic victory over Southampton amid Spygate controversy
Summary

Wrexham secured a 2-1 victory over Southampton at the Racecourse Ground on September 19. Kieffer Moore's first-half header was equalized by James Ward-Prowse, but Wrexham clinched the win when Keven Schlotterbeck scored an own goal in the 89th minute. This match followed the Spygate scandal involving Southampton, whose club was penalized for improper behavior during the previous season.

Wrexham now stands level on points with Southampton in the Championship after eight games.
