Ryan Reynolds’ Wrexham AFC stun Championship leaders Boro as EFL’s CanMNT contingent chase promotion

Wrexham AFC secured an upset 2-0 victory over Championship leaders Middlesbrough on Wednesday at the Racecourse Ground. Goals from George Thomason and Oliver Rathbone lifted Phil Parkinson's side up to 16th place in the table and ended Middlesbrough's 11-match unbeaten streak. Middlesbrough manager Kim Hellberg confirmed injured Canadian defender Alfie Jones remains sidelined, while Wrexham dealt with their own attacking injuries to Sam Smith, Josh Windass, Nathan Broadhead, and Callum O'Hare.

The match highlighted a competitive Championship campaign involving several Canadian national team players. Liam Millar has contributed five goals and four assists to help third-place Birmingham City reach 26 points from 14 matches. Meanwhile, Cyle Larin has scored eight goals in 13 appearances for seventh-place Southampton, who remain in the promotion hunt despite being docked four points for an EFL regulatory breach.
