West Bromwich Albion secured a 2-1 comeback victory over Wrexham in the Championship on Tuesday evening, recovering from a second-half deficit at Cae Ras in North Wales. Kieffer Moore put the hosts ahead in the 65th minute, but Isaac Price and Aune Heggebø scored late goals to give Albion all three points. According to West Bromwich Albion's match report, Price equalized with 11 minutes remaining after substitute JJ Morgan's initial attempt was diverted into his path.

Heggebø then completed the turnaround with a low finish, rewarding Albion's stronger performance after halftime. Wrexham threatened early through George Dobson, whose fourth-minute effort was comfortably saved by Max O'Leary. Moore also posed an aerial threat, heading twice off target before forcing the Albion goalkeeper into a reflex save shortly before the interval.

Albion struggled to turn their first-half attacking moves and set pieces into clear chances. Attempts from Rabby Nzingoula and Callum Styles were blocked as the teams went into halftime level at 0-0, according to the club's report.

After the break, Albion increased the pressure. Price had a volley saved within two minutes of the restart, while George Campbell subsequently struck the crossbar with a header. Despite that improved start, Wrexham broke the deadlock in the 65th minute. Moore found the net with a long-range strike to put the home side 1-0 ahead.

Albion responded by pushing for an equalizer. Styles saw an effort flicked just over the crossbar, while Pereira sent another attempt wide as the visitors continued searching for a way back into the match. Price eventually brought Albion level after Morgan's shot was diverted toward him. The midfielder controlled the ball quickly and fired home, restoring parity with 11 minutes remaining and setting up the decisive late phase of the contest.

Heggebø then delivered the winning goal after entering the match as a substitute. The striker finished low to complete Albion's comeback and secure a 2-1 away win, according to West Bromwich Albion's official match report.
