  WHAT HAPPENED?

  With time running out in the derby contest, Wrexham put together a free-flowing move that saw George Evans and Elliott Lee exchange a quick one-two pass before Evans found Sam Dalby inside the box. Dalby then squared the ball towards O'Connor, who found the back of the net as his shot took a fortunate deflection off a Shrewsbury defender.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Other than O'Connor's winner, Paul Mullin and co. failed to create too many chances in the game as it was The Shrews who created the better opportunities in the match, but failed to convert them.

  Hollywood star Hugh Jackman joined Red Dragons co-owner Ryan Reynolds at his home to watch the team play their FA Cup third-round clash.
