Yesterday Wrexham AFC faced Chesterfield FC, and the match wasn’t even close. Just 2 minutes before the final minutes, Wrexham was leading 2-0. Ryan Colclough scored a goal for Chesterfield at 90+5th minute, but the fate of the match was sealed by then. The club won the match 2-1 and regained the top spot on the table.

The match may have been very one-sided. But, it was so close to being a 2-2 that even Rob McElhenney couldn’t believe it. In the 58th minute on the back of an amazing pass, Colclough dived and hit a staggering header. Unfortunately for him, Goalkeeper Rob Lainton has channeled his inner Emiliano Martinez. Sharing the clip on Twitter, Rob wrote, “How did he stop that?” Even he couldn’t believe what Lainton had done.
