Wrexham hit back to hold Watford

Report and free match highlights from the Sky Bet Championship match between Wrexham and Watford at the Racecourse Ground on Saturday; Danny Imray cancels out Luca Kjerrumgaard opener to earn point for Phil Parkinson's Red Dragons.

Wrexham were kept waiting for their first Sky Bet Championship win of the season as they drew 1-1 with Watford in front of Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac.

Both goals at the SToK Cae Ras came in the opening quarter with Luca Kjerrumgaard's header cancelled out by Danny Imray's first Wrexham goal.

It meant another draw for Wrexham after the Red Dragons were denied by a last-gasp Cardiff equaliser on Monday.

Watford are two points better off after their opening victory over Southampton and a satisfactory start under new boss Alessio Dionisi.

The Hornets had chances for an even happier homeward journey, but Wrexham - just as they had been in Cardiff - were left cursing the woodwork twice.

Reynolds and Mac saw Anthony Patterson gather an early effort from Amin Nabizada before Wrexham's first attack ended with Ollie Rathbone prodding over.

Watford took a 14th-minute lead when Wrexham failed to apply pressure on the ball and Omar Haktab Traore delivered an inviting cross for Kjerrumgaard to head home.

It took Kjerrumgaard into double figures for Watford, the Danish striker having scored nine goals on loan last season before his move from Udinese was made permanent in the summer.

Nathan Broadhead was booked for simulation as Wrexham responded and they levelled midway through the first half.

Lewis O'Brien led a slick breakout and Moore found Imray to beat both goalkeeper Federico Ravaglia and Matty Pollock's despairing attempt on the goal-line.

Jordan Zemura appealed hopefully for a Hornets penalty after having his heels clipped by Zak Vyner.

Ravaglia punched away a George Thomason free-kick and Imray scuffed against a post at the other end in what was proving to be an open affair.

The game was held up before the interval after Thomason and Traore suffered a nasty clash of heads.
