Wrexham Suffers Heaviest Loss Under Reynolds, Mac in West Ham Rout
Developing
In Short: Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson admitted the 6-0 defeat by West Ham was among the lowest points of his tenure, marking the club's heaviest league loss in 22 years.
Phil Parkinson was appointed Wrexham manager in July 2021 when the club was in the National League.
The visitors were outclassed by a rampant West Ham at London Stadium on Friday, while the Red Dragons were dismantled 6-0 by West Ham United at the London Stadium — the heaviest defeat since Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took charge of the club.
In front of 59,712 spectators — the biggest crowd in Wrexham’s history — the Championship newcomers were outclassed by a West Ham side that returned to the top of the table with six different scorers on the night.
Phil Parkinson’s side managed just 8 shots and a meagre 0.39 expected goals, while West Ham produced 19 attempts and 2.51 xG, painting a damning picture of Wrexham’s performance.
