In a significant boost to their campaign, Wrexham secured their first Championship victory of the season with a commanding 3-0 triumph over Millwall. This win, achieved in south London, has strengthened Wrexham’s ambitions of vying for promotion to the Premier League. The team had previously started their season with draws against Cardiff and Watford, which were followed by a home defeat at the hands of Birmingham. However, they showcased resilience and determination to turn their fortunes around.
The match saw Wrexham taking an early lead thanks to an own goal by Zak Sturge, resulting from a deflected cross by Issa Kaboré that found its way into the Millwall net. The momentum continued into the second half when Kieffer Moore extended Wrexham’s lead with a powerful shot from around 20 yards. The victory was sealed when Jacques Ekomié added a third goal with a close-range finish, solidifying a decisive win for the visitors.
For Millwall, the defeat marked another disappointing outcome, having conceded eight goals in their last two matches after an initially promising start to the season with two clean-sheet victories. The team’s troubles were further aggravated by injuries to key players, striker Josh Coburn and midfielder Casper De Norre, adding to their mounting challenges.
Meanwhile, QPR continued to impress with a 2-1 victory over Cardiff at Loftus Road, maintaining their strong start to the season. Rumarn Burrell was the hero for QPR, netting both goals, while Perry Ng managed to score for Cardiff. This victory propelled QPR to 10 points from four matches.
Elsewhere in the Championship, Burnley and Middlesbrough played to a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor. Aidan Morris gave Middlesbrough an early lead in the first half, but Burnley’s Ugo Raghouber equalised shortly after the break. Charlton also kept their unbeaten record intact with a 1-1 draw against West Brom. Callum Styles put West Brom ahead before Tyreece Campbell levelled the score in the second half.
