Wrexham's Jack Marriott wins Goal of the Month! Ace's brilliant volley, which left Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney stunned, recognised as best of August in League One

A moment of brilliance from Marriott saw him skillfully control a backheel from Ollie Palmer with his chest before unleashing a remarkable volley with the outside of his foot, that flew into the top corner of the net and left Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney speechless. The goal helped Wrexham double the lead against Wycombe in a match they ultimately won by a 3-2 margin.

Marriott’s goal did not just win the League One Goal of the Month accolade but also earned him the Club Goal of the Month (GOTM) award, as announced during Wrexham’s Matchday Live show against Shrewsbury Town. The fans’ appreciation of Marriott's strike was clear, as it quickly became a standout moment early in Wrexham's campaign.

Following the match, Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson lauded Marriott for both his goal and his work ethic throughout the game. Speaking to the media, Parkinson said, "That goal today, I don’t think you’ll see many better goals in the EFL. It was excellent link-up play between the two strikers, and Jack finished it in style. You could feel the crowd’s admiration not just for the goal, but for his tireless effort on the pitch."

Other contenders for the League One Goal of the Month award included Louie Barry’s goal against Cambridge United, Kamari Doyle’s strike versus Bolton Wanderers, and Tom Bloxham’s effort against Leyton Orient.

After six games in League One, Wrexham currently sit at the top of the standings with 13 points, leading on goal difference. They will be in action next against Crawley Town on Saturday. While there’s still a long way to go, Marriott’s League One Goal of the Month award serves as a reminder of the quality within Wrexham’s ranks. The team will need more moments of magic like this if they are to achieve their dream of achieving their third successive promotion.
