Southampton ratings: Late own goal leaves wasteful Saints empty-handed at Wrexham | OneFootball

Southampton tossed away at least a point as an 89th-minute Keven Schlotterbeck own goal handed Wrexham victory at the Racecourse Ground. The visitors had seemed likeliest to nick it.

According to Sainstmarching.com, Keiffer Moore headed Wrexham in front before James Ward-Prowse equalised from Samuel Edozie’s cut-back. The decisive moment followed a flick-on that released Jacques Ekomié, Tom Fellows missed his challenge and Nathan Wood failed to stop the low cross, which Schlotterbeck diverted in. Daniel Peretz, tight to his near post, could not reach the delivery.

Ward-Prowse earned 8/10 as the standout performer, registering five shots, three on target, while steering play from a deeper role. Flynn Downes was tidy for 6.5, creating openings and operating mainly in Wrexham territory. Kuryu Matsuki’s industry brought limited end product for 6.

At the back, Peretz received 6.5 with three saves and near-flawless distribution, and neither concession was judged his fault. Ryan Manning impressed at 7 with creativity and overlaps, while James Bree was steady for 6. Wood took 6 after a booking within a high defensive line.

Schlotterbeck’s afternoon, previously marked by solid defending, was harshly defined by the late own goal for 6. In attack, Cyle Larin struggled for 5, spurning two big chances, while Finn Azaz earned 6.5 with two shots on target. Léo Scienza delivered a useful first half on 7 before injury forced him off.

From the bench, Edozie was rated 4 despite assisting the equaliser. Fellows received 5 in a brief outing, Divin Mubama 4 without a touch, and Lewis Dobbin was not graded.
