WHEN WILL IT END?
Wrexham have never scored three goals in a period of injury time.

The 25 minutes of injury time added to the match appears to be an EFL record. The record for any game in English/Welsh competitions is 30 minutes in an FA Cup tie between Torquay United and Crawley Town in 2020, although 5 of those were added to extra time. 28 minutes were added at the end of an EFL Cup match between Burton Albion and Bournemouth in 2019 (The added time for the first half is not recorded). This was due to floodlight failure. I’ve not been able to find a greater amount of injury time in league football – can you find more? |
Wrexham used six substitutes in a competitive game for the first time, and used an additional substitute (as redress for Barrow being awarded the right to use a concussion substitute) for the first time.
Despite conceding four goals, only three other teams in tiers 2-5 (and four in the Premier League, but they've played fewer games) have better defensive records than Barrow.
Last time Barrow conceded 3 in a league game: Hartlepool United
Last time Barrow conceded 5 in a league game: 31/1/23 Carlisle United (a) 1-5
Last time Barrow conceded 3 in the first half: 7/5/2022 Northampton (h) 1-3
