Gateshead 2-2 Wrexham

John Rooney joined Wrexham from cross-border rivals Chester in June 2016

Wrexham fought back for what had looked an unlikely point at Gateshead in the National League.

Neil Aspin's side are now six games unbeaten, but squandered two points after goals from Sam Jones and Danny Johnson put them comfortably ahead.

But a strike from John Rooney, younger brother of Wayne, and a Hamza Bencherif header brought the Welsh side level.

Gateshead's Wes Yorke hit the post, but for new Wrexham boss, Dean Keates, it's two 2-2 draws in his first two games.

Wrexham manager Dean Keates told BBC Radio Wales: "This almost feels like a win. The lads showed everything we wanted of them to come back from 2-0 down, the passion and the drive.

"They showed character in abundance. This was an improvement again, showing the passion to get back in it, but the performance wasn't really good enough."
