(Reuters) -Wrexham's win on penalties over Hull City in Tuesday's League Cup first-round meeting has helped them kickstart their campaign after a disappointing loss to Southampton in the Championship, the Welsh club's manager Phil Parkinson said.

Jack Marriott scored the winning penalty as Wrexham beat Hull 5-3 on penalties, after substitute Ollie Palmer scored twice in added time to force a penalty shootout following a 3-3 draw.
