Sheffield Wednesday 1-1 Watford: Last-gasp Hornets deny Owls rare win

By Total Football News

Before the match, recently appointed Watford boss Ed Still had described his side’s 11-day break between matches – because of their early FA Cup exit – as like a “mini pre-season”, giving him prolonged time to work with the squad and allowing players some time off.

That freshness told in the first half as they registered 10 shots to Wednesday’s four and dominated possession.

Chances missed by striker Luca Kjerrumgaard

Wrexham 1-1 Leicester City: Foxes snatch last-gasp draw at Stok Cae Ras

By Total Football News

Having lost 2-1 to Norwich City three days earlier, Wrexham were bidding to avoid losing back-to-back home league matches for the first time this season.

And following an uneventful start, they had the game’s first chances as Matty James, against his former club, and O’Brien had efforts from the edge of the box.

Jordan Ayew tested Arthur Okonkwo from distance to register Leicester’s first shot on target soon after, although

Wrexham 2-2 Watford: Last-gasp Ollie Rathbone strike earns Red Dragons a point

By Total Football News

Having made five changes from the 2-0 loss to Hull City in midweek, Wrexham’s freshness showed early on as Windass clipped the outside of the post from a free-kick after Max Cleworth blazed over minutes earlier.

Watford’s best opening fell to Luca Kjerrumgaard who could only drill into the side netting.

But Wrexham’s positive start was rewarded on 21 minutes as Matty James’ lofted ball over the top found Windass

Plymouth: Miron Muslic ‘hurt’ by last-gasp loss at Middlesbrough

By Total Football News

“It feels heavy,” he told BBC Radio Devon. “The lads played a brilliant game.

“Everything we prepared before, we actually delivered. We knew the threat of Middlesbrough – very strong in possession, very strong offensively, but we did it very well and consistently kept our transition threat, creating so many goalscoring opportunities.

Leeds United 2-2 Swansea City: Hosts’ automatic promotion hopes hit by last-gasp equaliser

By Total Football News

Leeds United’s automatic promotion hopes suffered another blow as Zan Vipotnik’s 96th-minute goal earned Swansea City a 2-2 draw on a dramatic afternoon at Elland Road.

Leeds had looked like claiming an unconvincing win after substitute Wilfried Gnonto drilled them in front four minutes from the end of normal time, but Vipotnik’s low shot meant the Whites missed the chance to reclaim top spot in the Championship.

Swansea City 1-1 West Bromwich Albion: Joe Allen scores last-gasp equaliser

By Total Football News

There was a certain irony to the fact Swansea were hosting West Brom after a week in which Swans head coach Williams had to field questions about speculation linking him to the Baggies.

The former Notts County boss was installed as favourite with bookmakers to replace Carlos Corberan and, having initially failed to quash the rumours in media interviews, Williams eventually confirmed he was staying at Swansea.

Burnley 1-0 Swansea City: Last-gasp Jay Rodriguez penalty gives Clarets win

By Total Football News

Burnley ended a four-game winless streak as Jay Rodriguez’s stoppage-time penalty secured victory over Swansea City.

Veteran striker Rodriguez scored for the first time in 11 months as he sent Lawrence Vigouroux the wrong way from the spot.

But Swansea were left unhappy over the award of the spot-kick, which was given for a Matt Grimes handball.

There was no question that the ball hit Grimes’ hand, which was raised
