- Oliver Rathbone - 90'+2'
Wrexham beat Barnsley with late Oliver Rathbone winner
Meet the eighth-tier team being confused for Rob and Ryan's Wrexham
Mark Ogden heads to Wroxham FC to meet the eighth-tier team frequently mistaken for Wrexham and the glamour of their Hollywood owners.
Wrexham earned a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Barnsley on Tuesday thanks to a thundering stoppage-time winner from midfielder Oliver Rathbone.
The result leaves Wrexham just two points behind league leaders Wycombe Wanderers, who drew 2-2 with Exeter City on Tuesday but have a game in-hand.
Wrexham and Barnsley could hardly be separated during the match, although Jonathan Russell went close for the visitors in the first hald with a header that cleared the crossbar.
Elliot Lee nearly put Phil Parkinson's side in front around the hour mark with a curling effort, but Wrexham eventually broke the deadlock throgh Rathbone, who delivered a superb driven strike on 93 minutes to secure all three points.
It was Wrexham's third straight victory as they chase a third promotion in four years under Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
