Boreham Wood 2-3 Wrexham: Reece Hall-Johnson seals thrilling Wrexham comeback

Reece Hall-Johnson's two goals took his season's tally to eight in the National League this season

Wrexham came from behind to beat Boreham Wood with two late goals to move back into the National League play-off spots.

Dean Keates' side, who had dropped out of the play-off spots, trailed 2-0 through Kane Smith and Kabongo Tshimanga's goals.

Reece Hall-Johnson pulled a goal back before the hosts' Tom Champion was sent-off.

Jordan Ponticelli levelled and Hall-Johnson's second sealed the comeback.

Wrexham, unbeaten in seven games, move back up to fifth while Boreham Wood are 13th.

Smith had put the home side ahead after a good attack down the left-hand side and Femi Ilesanmi laid it back for the defender to score from inside the box.

Tshimanga's shot from an acute angle squeezed past Rob Lainton to double The Wood's lead.

Wrexham were much improved after the break and full-back Hall-Johnson scored from Jordan Davies' cross.

Boreham Wood were reduced to 10 men when Champion, who had been booked in the first half, received his second yellow of the game after fouls on Ponticelli and Luke Young.

Substitute Ponticelli's soaring header from Hall-Johnson's cross brought Wrexham level with four minutes remaining.

Hall-Johnson bundled the ball over the line for his second goal two minutes later to complete a remarkable turnaround.

Wrexham manager Dean Keates said:

"That wasn't us in the first half and I was taken aback by it if I'm honest because in this week's training they've been absolutely bang at it. We weren't at the races. We got schooled by an experienced team.

"At half time there was no ranting and raving, we just had a chat about things.

"It's a great result for us to come back from 2-0 down. Three points was the aim and we go again on Tuesday night."
