AFC Wrexham’s dream of a fourth consecutive promotion did not come true. On the final matchday of the Championship, the club owned by Hollywood actors Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds went through a real drama.
In a three-way battle with Hull City and Derby County for the final playoff spot, the suspense lasted until the very last second. Even Hollywood could not have scripted more drama.

Because Derby lost 2-1 to Sheffield United and Hull City managed only a narrow 2-1 win over Norwich City, a one-goal victory against Middlesbrough would have been enough for Wrexham. Despite leading 2-1 at one stage, the Welsh club could do no better than a 2-2 draw and therefore missed out on a place in the playoffs. After 46 matches, they were missing exactly one goal to keep their promotion hopes alive. What drama.
