West Bromwich Albion were hosting Wrexham in a league fixture for the first time in their history Wrexham came from two goals down to earn what could yet be a valuable point in their quest to reach the Championship play-offs with an entertaining draw against West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns. The hosts took the lead when Wrexham's George Dobson turned a free-kick from Isaac Price into his own net. James Morrison's men doubled their advantage before half-time as Josh Maja converted from the penalty spot following Issa Kabore's foul on Jayson Molumby. The visitors dramatically improved in the second half and pulled a goal back when Josh Windass rounded off a slick team move to net his 12th goal of the campaign. Phil Parkinson's men levelled proceedings when Dobson got the faintest of touches on Lewis O'Brien's flicked effort. Daryl Dike and Kieffer Moore both had efforts to win it late on, although the contest ultimately ended 2-2. The draw stretched West Brom's unbeaten run to five matches and ensured they sit 20th - four points above the relegation zone. Wrexham move up one place to sixth, a point clear of next opponents Southampton who have a game in hand. Wrexham AFC West Bromwich Albion The Baggies started on the front foot, although, aside from Aune Heggebo's tame shot, they failed to give Wrexham goalkeeper Okonkwo cause for concern. But they were the grateful recipients of a slice of fortune midway through the first half as Price's free-kick took a deflection off Wrexham midfielder Dobson before beating Okonkwo at the goalkeeper's near post. Kabore - who committed the foul that led to the home side's opener - then brought down West Brom captain Molumby in his own box, with referee Robert Madley having no hesitation in pointing to the penalty spot. Maja emphatically drilled his spot-kick to Okonkwo's right to put his side in complete control going into the break with his fifth goal of the campaign across all competitions. Having been lacklustre in the opening half, Wrexham flew out of the blocks after the restart as George Thomason and Lewis O'Brien combined to tee up Windass, who curled beyond Baggies goalkeeper Josh Griffiths from 20 yards out. The mood at The Hawthorns dramatically shifted as a result, with the nerves among the home fans increasing as Sam Smith had a pair of headed efforts in quick succession. And Wrexham made it 2-2 in the 62nd minute as - O'Brien flicked Callum Doyle's cross goalwards, with Dobson applying a gentle touch to help the ball on its way into the net. Parkinson's intent was evident midway through the second half as Wales duo Moore and Nathan Broadhead replaced Smith and Zak Vyner. Following a relentless spell of Wrexham pressure, Morrison's side regrouped late on and had a glorious opening to score a third in the 89th minute, although Okonkwo denied Dike from point-blank range. Fellow substitute Moore then stung the palms of Griffiths in added time as, following a dramatic finale, a lively contest ended all-square.
