Wrexham's Kieffer Moore Scores a Brace as The Red Dragons Outlast Sheffield United in Goal-Filled Thriller

Kieffer Moore scored twice as Phil Parkinson's side mounted a stunning fightback from a two-goal deficit to defeat his old team Chris Wilder's men in a pulsating eight-goal second-tier encounter.

The forward's excellent volley put United ahead, but the hosts levelled almost immediately thanks to a Tyler Bindon unfortunate deflection.

A quickfire double from Bamford and a Callum O'Hare nod appeared to have handed United in a comfortable lead at 3-1, until the towering striker pulled one back with a thumping header of his own.
