Wrexham 4-1 Preston: Whiteman Silences PNE

Wrexham earned a comprehensive 4-1 victory over Preston North End at the Racecourse, as former Preston captain Ben Whiteman scored against his old side. Joe Worrall opened the scoring for the hosts before Alfie Devine briefly leveled the match for Preston. Whiteman restored Wrexham's lead shortly before halftime, and second-half goals from Sam Smith and Kieffer Moore sealed the dominant win for Phil Parkinson's team.

The result marks a third consecutive defeat for new Preston manager Graham Alexander, leaving the club five points adrift of safety. The article heavily criticizes Preston's defensive showing and mentality, noting that the Lancashire club has suffered nine defeats already in their worst start to a league season since 1962.
