Wrexham 6-5 Dover Athletic: Dragons edge Dover in 11-goal thriller
- Published
Jordan Davies has scored 15 goals this season
Jordan Davies' stoppage-time goal secured a dramatic victory for Wrexham in an astonishing game against already-relegated Dover.
Paul Mullin gave Wrexham the lead and James Jones put them 2-0 ahead.
Dover hit back through George Wilkinson before Alfie Pavey equalised.
Michael Gyasi's hat-trick gave Dover a 5-2 lead before Ollie Palmer pulled two goals back with Davies' double completing a remarkable comeback.
During more than nine minutes of stoppage time, Davies' free-kick brought the hosts level at 5-5.
The winner was initially credited to Dan Jarvis, but it was Davies who applied the final touch following a corner to round off an astonishing afternoon.
Wrexham are second in the National League but 11 points behind leaders Stockport County, while Dover remain rooted to the bottom of the table.
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said:
"The fundamentals of defending, doing the right things in all areas of the pitch weren't in place and hence we conceded some poor goals.
"But in terms of the character, to come back, and it doesn't matter who it's against, that's not easy so you've got to give the lads enormous credit.
"We remained patient and we got the chances in the end and I feel we've got the players who will take those chances."
