Kieffer Moore scored twice as Wrexham produced a stunning fightback from 3-1 down to overcome his old team Chris Wilder's men in a breathtaking 5-3 second-tier contest. The forward's sweetly-struck first-time shot opened the scoring, but Wrexham equalised just two minutes later courtesy of a deflected own goal. Bamford's second and a Callum O'Hare header appeared to have put the visitors in command at 3-1, until the towering striker reduced the arrears with a powerful header of his own. Breathless Second Period Turnaround The winger's glancing effort early in the second half brought the scores level, before Moore to give his side the lead for the first time with a quarter of an hour left to play. Josh Windass' composed spot-kick late on wrapped up the points, halting a run of five matches without victory for the promoted side. Talking Moments from the Fixture The home team were without Lewis O'Brien due to a shoulder problem, while captain James McClean began a three-match ban. Goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo kept his spot after a late mistake in the prior match. The visitors started brightly and went in front through their striker from a Femi Seriki. The leveller came quickly via a deflection from Windass' attempt. Moore saw a header cleared off the line before a teammate nodded in a third goal for United. The goalkeeper made a vital save to deny Ollie Arblaster in the second half. Substitute Tyrese Campbell hit the woodwork with a strike in stoppage time. Analysis In their previous meeting in the cup competition nearly three years ago, it ended in a epic six-goal stalemate. This latest clash provided a further high-octane, dramatic chapter in their growing rivalry. Backed by high-profile investors, Wrexham's remarkable rise through the leagues has brought them back to the Championship for the first time in 43 years. Ahead of this Boxing Day match on the back of a poor patch of form, manager Phil Parkinson had called for a replication of the characteristic fighting qualities from those past encounters. The players undoubtedly responded, overcoming a two-goal hole to secure a famous 5-3 victory that highlights their never-say-die attitude.
