Southampton Loses Dramatic Match After Late Own Goal
Southampton, featuring Israeli goalkeeper Daniel Peretz, suffered a frustrating 2-1 defeat to Wrexham in a Championship match on Saturday. The Saints were aiming for a third consecutive win but were undone by a late own goal.
Wrexham took the lead in the 36th minute through a header from Paul Mullin, despite a strong save from Peretz that initially pushed the ball to a corner. In the 50th minute, James Ward-Prowse equalized for Southampton, marking his first goal since returning to the team.
Peretz was nearly caught out in the 55th minute by a bizarre long-range attempt from Mullin, but he managed to recover and push the ball onto the crossbar.
The decisive moment came in the 89th minute when Southampton defender Cameron Cameron converted an own goal, gifting Wrexham the victory. Southampton's attempts to equalize in the final moments were unsuccessful.
The loss leaves Southampton with 10 points, level with Wrexham in the league standings.
