Weymouth 2-3 Wrexham: Hall-Johnson strikes dramatic late winner

Reece Hall-Johnson's late winner saw Wrexham fight back at 10-man Weymouth.

Weymouth led early when a cross was headed back across goal for Josh McQuoid to bury, before Jake McCarthy doubled their lead with a lofted effort that found the far top corner.

Theo Vassell levelled with two quick goals, first heading in a corner and then shooting home after a strong run.

Weymouth had Shamir Mullings sent off for what appeared to be a stray elbow and Hall-Johnson made the numbers tell.

Home manager Brian Stock was shown a red card at full time by referee Jacob Miles.

Wrexham manager Dean Keates said:

"We've had a bit of an enforced break and we spoke about needing to start bright, start sharp - from the start and not after 20 minutes.

"I got the reaction I wanted at half-time. I told them the next goal was going to be massive, we managed to go and get three and grind three points out.

"The three subs who came on all had an impact... it's a squad game, I asked them to make an impact and all three have contributed so I'm really happy with that."
