Wrexham 4–1 Preston

Wrexham didn't just beat Preston, they buried them. Five goals, three different scorers in a ruthless first-half-to-second-half stretch, and a Championship scoreline that reads like a mismatch because it was one. Joe Worrall opened the rout in the 31st minute, Benjamin Whiteman doubled it just before the break, and Preston never had an answer even after Alfie Devine pulled one back. Sam Smith and Kieffer Moore turned the second half into a formality, piling on two more inside four minutes. The numbers back up what the scoreboard already screamed: Wrexham sit 19th with 11 points and a patchy LDWLD run, but on this evidence they look nothing like a side scraping for form. Preston, rock bottom on form at LLDLL and winless in five, offered little resistance once Whiteman's goal landed. Five goals, five different stories, one complete demolition. Watch how Wrexham turned a nervy first half into a rout, starting with Whiteman's 42nd-minute dagger that broke Preston for good.
