⚽️ Wrexham just missed the promotion playoff to the EPL. 🤬
Wrexham suffered playoff qualification heartbreak Saturday as they were leapfrogged by promotion rivals Hull City on a dramatic final day of the Championship season.
The Welsh club, owned by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, started the day inside the top six on goal difference, but their 2-2 home draw with Middlesbrough meant Hull City's 2-1 win over Norwich City saw Wrexham miss out on qualification for the playoffs by two points.
Wrexham, who were aiming for a fourth consecutive promotion that would see them play in the Premier League next season, finished seventh in the Championship table.
