Wrexham was denied a Hollywood-style ending on their return to English soccer's second tier on Saturday when relegated Premier League team Southampton struck twice in the final minutes to grab a 2-1 win. Southampton -- two divisions higher than Wrexham last season -- pushed furiously throughout for reward, but they were fast running out of time when substitute Ryan Manning dispatched a superb 90th-minute free kick. "It hurts because the lads have given us a lot today," Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson told Sky Sports. Wrexham manager Parkinson, who began his career at Southampton before being released without making a single appearance, is the oldest manager in the division and has over 1,000 games under his belt and three successive promotions on his CV. Wrexham went ahead after 22 minutes as Moore broke through before being blatantly pushed in the back by Ronnie Edwards.
