Wrexham soared past Reading thanks to two goals from 27-year-old Nathan Broadhead, marking the club’s first appearance in the EFL Cup’s fourth round since 1977. Broadhead’s wish to meet Cardiff in the next round aligns with his father’s own allegiance, revving up the excitement heading into the next stage.

Cardiff City head coach Brian Barry-Murphy revealed it is “impossible to say” if the club will add or lose more players before the transfer window closes. Meanwhile, center-back Jesper Daland’s absence from the squad during the 3-0 EFL Cup victory over Cheltenham has fueled rumors of his imminent departure.
