Leicester City 1-1 Wrexham: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes' post-match review of Leicester City 1-1 Wrexham in the Championship on Tuesday, 30 September 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Well, that was a nail-biter at the King Power, wasn't it? Leicester City and Wrexham battled it out to a 1-1 draw, with both teams showing grit and determination. Leicester, coming off a string of draws, couldn't quite break their streak, but they did manage to keep their unbeaten run alive. Wrexham, on the other hand, showed they're no pushovers, snatching a crucial point away from home. The result might not have been a shock, but it certainly keeps things interesting at both ends of the table.

Jordan James was the standout for Leicester, bagging the opener in the 36th minute. But credit where it's due, Wrexham fought back and equalized late in the game through a resilient effort. Both teams had their moments, but neither could find that killer instinct to take all three points. It's a result that keeps Leicester in the mix for promotion and gives Wrexham a boost in their fight to climb the table.

The stats paint a clear picture of Leicester's dominance on the ball, with a whopping 68% possession compared to Wrexham's 32%. Despite this, they couldn't convert that control into a win, which is a bit of a head-scratcher. Leicester also had seven corners to Wrexham's one, showing they were the more threatening side. However, Wrexham's efficiency in dribbling, with an 82% success rate compared to Leicester's 48%, suggests they made the most of their limited possession. The yellow card count, with Leicester picking up three to Wrexham's one, hints at a bit of frustration creeping in for the home side.

The game's turning point came early when Jordan James put Leicester in the lead with a well-taken goal in the 36th minute. It looked like they might hold on for the win, but Wrexham had other ideas. The visitors kept pushing and finally got their reward in the 77th minute with a crucial equalizer. That late goal shifted the momentum and ensured both teams left with a point each.

Both goals were pivotal, but it was Wrexham's late strike that really changed the game's complexion. Leicester had been in control for much of the match, but that equalizer forced them to rethink their approach. It was a classic case of a game that could have gone either way, but in the end, it was Wrexham's resilience that earned them a share of the spoils.

Leicester lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Jakub Stolarczyk in goal and a back four of Hamza Choudhury, Wout Faes, Jannik Vestergaard, and Luke Thomas. The midfield was anchored by Jordan James and Harry Winks, with Issahaku Fatawu, Bobby De Cordova-Reid, and Jeremy Monga supporting Patson Daka up top. James was the standout performer, scoring the opener and showing his influence in midfield. The five substitutions made by Leicester suggest they were trying to find a way to break down Wrexham's defense, but it wasn't to be.

Wrexham opted for a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Arthur Okonkwo between the sticks and a back three of Max Cleworth, Dominic Hyam, and Lewis Brunt. The midfield was manned by Issa Kaboré, George Dobson, Ben Sheaf, and Ryan Longman, with Josh Windass and Lewis O'Brien playing just behind Kieffer Moore. The late equalizer was a testament to their fighting spirit, and the five substitutions they made showed they were determined to get something from the game. It was a solid performance from the visitors, who will be pleased with the point.

Jordan James earns the Ladbrokes' Man of the Match award for his standout performance against Wrexham. Scoring the opener in the 36th minute, James showed his importance to the Leicester side. With four key passes and a goal to his name, he was instrumental in driving Leicester forward and keeping them in the game. A well-deserved accolade for a player who made a significant impact.
