Outstanding performance
Southampton•MidfielderSouthampton dominated the ball and the underlying numbers - 19 shots to Wrexham's 8, near-double the pass accuracy - but couldn't turn control into a result. Kieffer Moore's header against the run of play gave Wrexham a shock lead, and although James Ward-Prowse's clinical strike leveled things just after the break, Southampton's profligacy in front of goal (three big chances created, only converting one) came back to haunt them. Wrexham, content to soak up pressure and rely on set pieces and moments of chaos, snatched the win in the 89th minute when Keven Schlotterbeck turned the ball into his own net under pressure. The result leaves Southampton facing questions about their finishing and game management, while Wrexham's resilience and clinical edge will be the story of their campaign so far.
