🔗 Share this article Wrexham's Kieffer Moore Fires Twice as The Red Dragons Outlast The Blades in Eight-Goal Thriller Kieffer Moore celebrates after scoring Wrexham's fourth goal against Sheffield United. The Welsh international bagged a double as Phil Parkinson's side mounted a stunning fightback from a two-goal deficit to defeat his old team Sheffield United in a breathtaking eight-goal second-tier encounter. The forward's excellent first-time shot opened the scoring, but Wrexham equalised almost immediately thanks to a Tyler Bindon own goal. Bamford's second and a close-range nod seemingly have handed United in a comfortable lead at 3-1, before 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 period made it all square, paving the way for Moore to put Wrexham ahead for the first time with a quarter of an hour left to play. The midfielder's confident penalty in the closing stages wrapped up the points, ending a sequence of five games without victory for the Welsh club. Talking Points from the Fixture Wrexham were missing a key midfielder due to a shoulder problem, while captain James McClean started a three-game suspension. Keeper Okonkwo retained his place despite a costly error in the prior match. The visitors started brightly and took the lead through their striker from a cross. The leveller came quickly via a own goal from Windass' shot. The forward saw a header hooked away before O'Hare nodded in a third goal for United. Okonkwo made a crucial stop to deny an opponent in the later stages. Substitute Campbell hit the woodwork with a strike in stoppage time. Match Reflection In their previous meeting in the cup competition nearly three years ago, it ended in a epic six-goal stalemate.
