Wrexham 5-5 Swindon Town: Elliott Lee rescues point for Dragons

Wrexham conceded five goals for the second time in four League Two matches, after losing 5-3 to MK Dons on the opening day

Elliot Lee's stoppage-time goal saw Wrexham recover to secure a point in a 10-goal thriller against Swindon.

Charlie Austin created Swindon's opening goal for Jake Young before scoring his side's second.

Jake Bickerstaff replied but Dan Kemp and Young's second made it 4-1.

Lee's penalty and James Jones gave Wrexham hope before Kemp scored Swindon's fifth, only for late goals from Jones and Lee to seal a dramatic comeback.

Wrexham's Bickerstaff had the game's opening chance but the young striker was denied by a good save from on-loan keeper Murphy Mahoney.

Swindon were ahead on 16 minutes when Remeao Hutton's ball was headed across the face of goal for Young to nod home.

Mahoney tipped over Ollie Palmer's header from Elliot Lee's corner before Austin extended Swindon's lead.

The former Southampton and QPR striker poked home for his first goal of the season after good work from Kemp.

Bickerstaff won the ball on the by-line and cut inside into the area before firing home past Mahoney.

But within a minute and a half Kemp restored the visitors' two-goal advantage with an effort from the edge of the area.

Swindon's fourth in the space of 18 minutes came when Young shot on the turn beat Ben Foster for his second of the afternoon.

Wrexham were given a lifeline five minutes into the second half when Lee scored from the penalty spot after Palmer had been wrestled to the ground.

Lee was the provider for the home side's third, with Jones lifting the ball over the oncoming keeper.

Palmer should have levelled only to put the ball wide from close range and in an end to end second half Kemp struck the crossbar for the visitors.

But there was no denying Kemp a minute later with a shot from the edge of the area that beat Foster for his second and Swindon's fifth.

However Wrexham were not finished as Jones turned in Jacob Mendy's cross to make it 5-4 in stoppage time.

And the extraordinary comeback was complete when Lee netted the rebound after substitute Anthony Forde's free-kick was parried.

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said:

"Where do you start? At 4-1 down at half-time I was confident we could respond and that's a credit to the group.

"I've been in dressing rooms before as a player and as a manager where that would worry you and it certainly didn't.

"But we've also got to be honest that the very basics have got to be so much better."

Swindon manager Mike Flynn said:

"I'm really raw, I'm hurting because that was two points dropped.

"We could have scored seven or eight, we've given them three or four of their goals. It's a tough one to take.

"I'm not into referee-bashing because our defending should be better. A lot of our experienced players have made errors but there are a lot of positives."
