Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson believes his side should have beaten "billion-pound team" Chelsea in their pre-season tour of north America.
Jack Marriott and Luke Bolton’s second-half goals put Wrexham ahead after Christopher Nkunku’s first-half strike, but Lesley Ugochukwu’s 82nd-minute equaliser rescued a draw for new Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca.“You’ve got to put it into context. We’ve played a billion-pound team, they’ve spent so much money, and two years ago we were playing in the National League.
“We are disappointed Dalby got fouled that the linesman is flagging frantically, and the ref didn’t know and the ball is in the back of our net. But he believes the performance also showed that players already at the north Wales club are desperate not to be overlooked.
