Wrexham celebrated their first Championship victory of the season with a commanding 3-0 triumph over Millwall, igniting their aspirations for a Premier League promotion push. Following a series of initial draws against Cardiff and Watford, and a disappointing home loss to Birmingham, Wrexham delivered a strong performance in south London.
The match saw Wrexham take the lead in the first half courtesy of an own goal by Zak Sturge, who inadvertently redirected Issa Kaboré’s cross into Millwall’s net. Building on that momentum, Kieffer Moore extended Wrexham’s advantage with a powerful shot from around 20 yards shortly after halftime. Jacques Ekomié sealed the victory with a close-range finish, rounding off a comprehensive win.
Millwall, on the other hand, faced another challenging outing as they suffered their second consecutive heavy defeat, conceding eight goals in their last two matches after starting the season with two clean sheets. Their woes were further exacerbated by injuries to striker Josh Coburn and midfielder Casper De Norre.
In other Championship action, QPR continued their impressive form with a 2-1 win over Cardiff at Loftus Road, where Rumarn Burrell netted both goals for the home side, while Perry Ng managed to score for Cardiff. This victory propelled QPR to a total of 10 points from four matches.
Meanwhile, Burnley encountered a 1-1 stalemate against Middlesbrough at Turf Moor, with Aidan Morris putting Middlesbrough in front during the first half before Burnley’s Ugo Raghouber found the equaliser shortly after the break. Charlton maintained their unbeaten status, drawing 1-1 with West Brom. Callum Styles opened the scoring for West Brom, but Tyreece Campbell ensured a share of the points by levelling the match in the second half.
