Chelsea and Wrexham played out an entertaining 2-2 draw in San Francisco as the two sides continue to prepare for their upcoming campaigns.

Scorers: Nkunku 35′, Ugochukwu 82′ ; Luke Bolton 58′, Marriot 71′

It was one-way traffic in the early going as Chelsea dominated possession and created the bulk of the chances, and they were rewarded for efforts when Christopher Nkunku opened the scoring to set Levis Stadium alight.

Wrexham responded well after the halftime break however, equalizing through Luke Bolton on the hour mark after the Blues made a host of substitutions.

The Welsh outfit completed the turnaround when former League One golden boot winner Jack Marriott darted into the box before finishing and giving Wrexham the lead.

The Premier League side formed a response of their own, reclaiming parity in the final 10 minutes thanks to a close-range Lesley Ugochukwu strike.
