West Bromwich Albion secured a vital 2-1 comeback victory away to Wrexham on Tuesday night. Goals from Isaac Price and Aune Heggebø in the final 11 minutes overturned an early deficit, delivering three points that lift the Baggies to fourth in the Championship table.
Wrexham took the lead after 64 minutes when Kieffer Moore "powered in a long-distance opener," giving the home side the advantage. The Baggies responded with growing pressure and found their equaliser 15 minutes later. Isaac Price levelled the score in the 79th minute, setting the stage for a dramatic finish.
Just five minutes later, Price turned provider, setting up Aune Heggebø for the winning goal. The 84th-minute strike completed the turnaround and secured a hard-fought away win. The result marks a positive response after recent defeats to Birmingham and Wolves, improving Albion's recent form to two wins, one draw, and two losses from their last five outings.
The win moves West Bromwich Albion onto 17 points from 10 Championship games, solidifying their position in the play-off places. They now sit six points behind league leaders Swansea City. The team's focus immediately shifts to their next league fixture, a home match against seventh-placed Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.
Highlights from the match at The Racecourse Ground are available for fans to watch. The comeback victory provides a significant boost as Albion prepare for a key run of games to maintain their promotion push.

Aune Heggebø admitted he enjoyed his 84th-minute winner against Wrexham far more than his controversial strike at Norwich in August. The Norway striker told reporters, "It was a tricky start, but it's a long season." Heggebø served a two-game ban after that earlier goal was deemed deliberate handball. His third goal of the season helped Albion, who sit 6th in the Championship with 17 points, return to winning ways.
