WHAT HAPPENED?
In a dramatic League Two encounter, Bradford City’s Andy Cook emerged as the hero, scoring a late winner after having a penalty saved by Wrexham’s goalkeeper, Arthur Okonkwo. The match ended in despair for Wrexham, who suffered their third consecutive league defeat, dashing their hopes of climbing closer to the automatic promotion places.
WHAT PHIL PARKINSON SAID
Speaking after the match, Parkinson said: “Yeah, it hurts. Dominated the game thoroughly, the first half in particular. I thought we were excellent. We did everything we set out to do against the 3-4-3 system. Moved the ball well and got into some great positions. But just couldn’t find the moment and the way we played probably justified us coming in a goal if not two ahead.
“In the second half, I think we were still the better team and the team that most looked like scoring. But we didn’t produce the real quality from crossing or getting into better positions when the ball came into the box. The lads have given everything today. We know that we are in a period when it is not going our way but today they have given everything and today we just couldn’t find the moment to unlock the door. No lack of effort today.”
