Broadhead double sends Wrexham past Reading and into EFL Cup last 16

— Match Report

Nathan Broadhead netted his first goals for Wrexham as Phil Parkinson's side beat League One Reading 2-0 at the Stok Cae Ras to reach the fourth round of the EFL Cup for the first time since 1977.

After a disjointed opening 45 minutes in which Reading carried the greater threat, the Championship hosts were far better after the restart and the club's record signing settled the tie with two well-taken finishes.

Royals Set the Early Tempo

Mark O'Mahony tried his luck from distance just before the 10th minute but dragged his effort wide, before Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan beat his marker inside the area and drilled a low, hard shot that stung the palms of Callum Burton on the goalkeeper's first appearance since December.
