Wrexham's Kieffer Moore Scores Twice as The Red Dragons Outlast Sheffield United in Eight-Goal Spectacle

Kieffer Moore bagged a double as Phil Parkinson's side produced a remarkable fightback from 3-1 down to defeat his old team Chris Wilder's men in a pulsating eight-goal second-tier encounter.

The forward's sweetly-struck volley opened the scoring, but the hosts levelled just two minutes later thanks to a Tyler Bindon own goal.

A quickfire double from Bamford and a close-range header seemingly have handed United in a comfortable lead at 3-1, before the towering striker pulled one back with a powerful goal of his own.

Dramatic Second Period Turnaround

The winger's glancing effort early in the second period made it all square, paving the way for Moore 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 victory for the promoted side.
