Marine 1-1 Wrexham: Jordan Davies' late strike prevents FA Cup shock

Jordan Davies' stoppage-time free-kick saved Wrexham from FA Cup fourth-qualifying round embarrassment at Marine.

Owen Watkinson's late header seemed set to send the eighth-tier hosts into the first round proper.

But Davies rescued Phil Parkinson's National League big spenders with his superb set-piece.

The two clubs will both be in Sunday's first-round draw ahead of a replay on Tuesday.

Marine still have hopes of a repeat of last season's run to round three, where they were beaten by Tottenham.

Alex Doyle, Neil Kengni and Niall Cummins all forced saves from Wrexham goalkeeper Christian Dibble before Watkinson struck.

Jake Hyde and Liam McAlinden went close for Wrexham before Davies' equaliser.

Dibble was an early substitute for Rob Lainton, who was forced off with what looked like a head injury after a challenge from Cummins which incensed Wrexham's players.

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson:

"It was always going to be a tough game. We didn't play with the quality we would have liked to do.

"We were disappointed to concede the goal but a great equaliser has got us in the hat for the next round.

"When you come to a team lower down [the pyramid], you are expected to win. We didn't do that today so there's going to be an element of frustration and we have to accept that. I have got to accept it.

"But we live to fight another day and look forward to Tuesday. We have got to do better in areas of the game - we know that."
