Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Wrexham led Total shots 20-11, even though the scoreboard went another way. Wrexham also shaded Shots on target 8-5.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Middlesbrough the favourite at 46.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
