Bristol City came from behind twice to snatch a 2-2 draw against Wrexham at Ashton Gate, with Max Bird’s spectacular late volley securing a point for the hosts. Ollie Rathbone’s stunning first-half strike and a Joe Williams own goal had put Wrexham in control, but second-half substitutes inspired a City revival.
Rathbone put Wrexham ahead after 34 minutes, latching on to a ricochet from Doyle’s cross and smashing a left-foot shot past Radek Vitek. The visitors doubled their lead midway through the second half when Issa Kaboré’s delivery into the area was turned into his own net by the unfortunate Williams.
But Bristol City had already reduced the deficit early in the second period through Sinclair Armstrong, who powered home from a tight angle after being fed by Tomi Horvat. Then, two minutes from time, Bird unleashed a 20-yard volley that crashed in off the underside of the crossbar, leaving Wrexham goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo helpless.
Wrexham had chances to win it through George Dobson, who squandered two late opportunities, but had to settle for a point. The result denied them a fifth successive Championship away victory.
In other Championship action, Portsmouth moved four points clear of the relegation zone with a 3-1 win at Charlton. Terry Devlin scored a spectacular long-range strike that crept through the legs of Thomas Kaminski, and Colby Bishop added a penalty before Devlin’s second flew into the top corner. Jayden Fevrier grabbed a consolation for the hosts.
