Kieffer Moore Fires a Brace as The Red Dragons Outlast The Blades in Eight-Goal Spectacle

Jubilation after scoring Wrexham's fourth goal

The striker wheels away in delight after finding the net for Wrexham's fourth goal in the clash with the Blades.

The Welsh international bagged a double as Phil Parkinson's side mounted a stunning comeback from a two-goal deficit to defeat his old team Chris Wilder's men in a breathtaking eight-goal Championship contest.

Patrick Bamford's excellent first-time shot put United ahead, but Wrexham levelled just two minutes later courtesy of a Tyler Bindon unfortunate deflection.

A quickfire double from Bamford and a Callum O'Hare nod appeared to have put the visitors in a comfortable lead at 3-1, before Moore reduced the arrears with a thumping goal of his own.

Breathless Second-Half Comeback

The winger's glancing effort early in the second half made it all square, before the goalscorer to put Wrexham ahead for the first time with 14 minutes remaining.

Josh Windass' composed spot-kick late on sealed the win, ending a sequence of five matches without victory for the promoted side.

When these two sides met in the FA Cup nearly three years ago, it finished in a epic 3-3 draw.

This latest clash delivered a further high-octane, dramatic chapter in their growing rivalry.

With the support of high-profile investors, the club's meteoric rise through the leagues has brought them back to the second tier for the first time since the 1980s.
