Wrexham, Derby or Hull? How the Championship playoff drama unfolded in two tumultuous hours
After 45 games spread over 268 gruelling days, the battle to win a shot at promotion to the Premier League through the playoffs came down to one last match.Wrexham began the day in sixth place in the Championship table, the cut-off point for entry into the semi-finals, but knew that Derby County and Hull City were both breathing down their necks.All three had home games on the final day: Wrexham were entertaining Middlesbrough, who still had an outside shot at automatic promotion; Derby County were hosting Sheffield United, marooned in mid-table; Hull, meanwhile, were up against Norwich, who also had nothing to play for. Over the course of the next two hours, fortunes ebbed and flowed with bewildering frequency as Wrexham — owned by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac — aimed to pen the next chapter of their remarkable rise through the leagues.Advertisementالمصدر: The Athletic | Source: The Athletic
