Wrexham scored twice in stoppage time to come from behind and pull off an incredible 3-2 victory at QPR.

After Harvey Vale's early opener, Callum Doyle's first Wrexham goal hauled them level early in the second half.

Steve Cook's 80th-minute goal looked to have secured victory for Rangers, but they were reduced to 10 men when Amadou Mbengue was sent off 10 minutes later - and the visitors then scored twice in the space of a minute.

Dean Windass equalised and fellow substitute Ollie Rathbone netted a dramatic winner in the final moments with a thumping right-footed strike from 30 yards.

Former Chelsea youngster Vale, recently back from injury, opened the scoring in emphatic fashion after six minutes.

Nicolas Madsen intercepted Lewis O'Brien's pass and cleverly back-heeled to Karamoko Dembele, whose strike hit the bar. After Dembele then battled for the resulting loose ball on the right of the penalty area, Vale turned and smashed a glorious left-footed volley past keeper Arthur Okonkwo.

It was just the start the hosts needed after back-to-back goalless draws, and they continued to have the upper hand, with Paul Smyth firing into the side netting after being teed up by Richard Kone, Vale shooting wide and Dembele's acrobatic effort landing on the top of the net.

Rangers' failure to score a second during that period gave Wrexham a chance to stay in the game - and they hit back with an equaliser nine minutes after the interval.

Joe Walsh produced a fine save to keep out George Thomason's low shot but the R's were unable to clear their lines and Nathan Broadhead threaded a pass through to Doyle, who fired past Walsh at his near post.

Having been on top in the first half, QPR struggled after being pegged back, and Walsh gathered a shot from Ben Sheaf as the Welsh side threatened again.

At the other end, Madsen intercepted a loose pass - as he did for the first Rangers goal - but this time curled a shot wide of the far corner.

However, Madsen found his target with a perfectly delivered right-wing corner which was headed home near the edge of the six-yard box by veteran defender Cook.

Kone headed against the bar from another Madsen corner, shortly before Mbengue, already on a yellow card, picked up another one for a foul on Thomason and was dismissed.

And the home crowd were then stunned as Windass hooked the ball home after Walsh had palmed out a corner, and Rathbone then clinched the points in style.

The managers

QPR's Julien Stephan:

"To finish the game with 10 players in the last minute had a huge impact, I think, at the end of the game.

"But I don't want to analyse the game only of the last five or six minutes. We need to have a full analysis of the game.

"We were very dominant in the first half and with more efficiency it (would have been) 2-0 for us. With another goal in the first half it could have been a different second half. That's why we need to have a full analysis of the game.

"We found a way to score a second goal and the game was under control at that moment. And yes, the last four or five minutes we know what happened.

"With one less player, Wrexham's physicality - and we know their physicality and wanted to reduce the number of their crosses, which we did very well - but with fatigue in the last five minutes and one player less, it was not possible to continue to press."

Wrexham's Phil Parkinson:

"You saw how quickly we got the ball and got back (after the late equaliser).

"We smelt blood. You can feel that as a team sometimes. Their lad got sent off, I don't know whether that impacted it or not, but you felt that we were the team most likely to go and win it.

"Josh showed incredible technique and what can I say about Ollie - his goals-per-minutes, it's probably the top in the league.

"The big thing for us was that we were leaving players out of the team that may have expected to play. I felt the professionalism of the group got us the win.

"Players are always disgruntled when they're not in the team, but there was a togetherness about the group and that showed, particularly with Josh and Ollie.

"It was difficult out there. It's probably the worst pitch in the division. To go away with the three points is a big bonus for us."
