League Cup Flashback
Last night's fantastic victory at Hillsborough wasn't just a memorable victory - it's also a record away win for the club in the League Cup.
Points of interest after last night's match are:
-
Our biggest ever away win in the League Cup - previously we'd done no better than 2-0, a score we achieved seven times, along with a 4-2 at Doncaster Rovers in 1994.
-
First away win in the League Cup since August 2000, when we won 1-0 at Mansfield, but lost the second leg 3-0 at home and went out!
-
Wrexham reach the Second Round of the League Cup for only the 6th time in the last 23 years.
-
Clearly Wrexham have not done well in the League Cup in recent years, but we have reached the second round 3 times in 5 seasons under Denis Smith. Brian Flynn also reached the second round 3 times, but it took him 12 attempts!
-
The result is our best at Hillsborough, where we've now won 3 times in 8 visits. The previous best result was a 3-0 league win in October 1981.
-
Surprisingly, this 8,073 crowd was not the smallest we've attracted to Hillsborough: our first visit, a 1-0 defeat in September 1975, was witnessed by just 7,855.
-
The last time we scored four goals in an away game was April 2005, when Juan Ugarte scored a hat trick in a 4-1 win at Stockport.
