Kieffer Moore Fires a Brace as The Red Dragons Edge The Blades in Goal-Filled Thriller

Kieffer Moore scored twice as Wrexham produced a remarkable comeback from 3-1 down to overcome his former club Chris Wilder's men in a pulsating 5-3 Championship encounter.

The forward's excellent volley opened the scoring, but Wrexham equalised almost immediately courtesy of a Tyler Bindon unfortunate deflection.

A quickfire double from Bamford and a Callum O'Hare header appeared to have put the visitors in a comfortable lead at 3-1, until the towering striker pulled one back with a thumping goal of his own.

Breathless Second Period Turnaround

Ryan Longman's glancing effort early in the second half made it all square, paving the way for Moore to put Wrexham ahead for the first time with a quarter of an hour remaining.

The midfielder's composed penalty late on wrapped up the points, halting a run of five games without victory for the Welsh club.
