Much of the pre-match talk revolved around the Canaries’ home struggles and the speculation surrounding Parkinson’s situation as Wrexham manager.<\/a><\/p>\n

But only one of those themes were to be a hot topic of discussion after what was an eventful contest in Norfolk.<\/p>\n

Lewis O’Brien’s curling free-kick was kept out by Vladan Kovacevic while Windass – captaining the visitors on his return from injury – fired against the post from a well-worked corner routine as Wrexham started on the front foot.<\/p>\n

The Canaries’ best opening fell to Matej Jurasek who was well denied by Okonkwo from a one-on-one position, with Kieffer Moore unable to convert from a similar position at the other end.<\/p>\n

But Liam Manning’s side took the lead as Jurasek threaded a pass through to Stacey who slotted beyond Okonkwo to capitalise on Wrexham’s defensive sloppiness.<\/p>\n

The away side made a dream start to the second half though as debutant Issa Kabore played in a sumptuous first time cross to the unmarked Windass who drilled beyond Kovacevic to level proceedings just 62 seconds after the restart.<\/p>\n

It ensured Wrexham maintained their record of scoring in every league fixture so far this season, and the hosts had Kovacevic to thank for keeping out O’Brien’s goal bound effort moments later as the travelling supporters responded to their side’s improvement.<\/p>\n

And they went ahead in the 54th minute as Kabore charged up the right flank before picking out Longman whose scuffed effort beat Kovacevic – his first goal of the campaign.<\/p>\n

It went from bad to worse for Norwich as – a minute after O’Brien’s effort was superbly kept out by the fingertips of Kovacevic – Wrexham bagged a third.<\/p>\n

Windass cut on to his right foot before unleashing a curling effort that sailed into the top corner to send the away fans into raptures and further increase the unrest of the home faithful.<\/p>\n

Makama bagged in the second minute of added time for the home side, but Wrexham saw out the final stages to earn a second successive away win while inflicting a third consecutive home league defeat on the Canaries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Much of the pre-match talk revolved around the Canaries’ home struggles and the speculation surrounding Parkinson’s situation as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":59,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-33039","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33039","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33039"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33039\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33039"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33039"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33039"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
