Shrewsbury Town secured a memorable 2-1 victory over Wrexham in a thrilling League Two encounter. John Marquis scored twice for the home side, canceling out a first-half goal from Wrexham. The win propelled Shrewsbury above Crawley in the league table, while denying Wrexham the chance to go top.
Salop won their third game under Ainsworth on a famous night in Shropshire as his team got the better of Phil Parkinson's big-spending Red Dragons.
“It was absolutely phenomenal,” Ainsworth said about his side's victory. “The work-rate, the way the week has been, for those boys to go out there and put that performance in tells me we have every chance this season of staying in this league. “I am really really pleased. All of the talk before the game was about if Wrexham won, they go top of the league; nobody said that if Shrewsbury win, they might go above Crawley.
