Kieffer Moore Scores a Brace as Wrexham Edge Sheffield United in Eight-Goal Thriller

Kieffer Moore scored twice as Wrexham mounted a remarkable fightback from a two-goal deficit to overcome his old team Sheffield United in a pulsating eight-goal second-tier encounter.

Patrick Bamford's excellent volley opened the scoring, but the hosts equalised just two minutes later thanks to a Tyler Bindon unfortunate deflection.

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

Dramatic Second-Half Turnaround

The winger's glancing effort early in the second period brought the scores level, paving the way for the goalscorer to give his side the lead for the first occasion with a quarter of an hour remaining.

Josh Windass' composed spot-kick late on sealed the win, ending a run of five matches without a win for the Welsh club.
