Kieffer Moore struck twice against his former club as Wrexham overturned a 3-1 deficit to beat Sheffield United 5-3 in an extraordinary Championship contest at the Stok Cae Ras. In an eight-goal Boxing Day thriller, the hosts recovered from a torrid opening half-hour to overwhelm the Blades, with Josh Windass' late penalty sealing a comeback that ended Wrexham's five-game wait for a win.
Patrick Bamford had twice put United in front and Callum O'Hare's header appeared to give Chris Wilder's side command of the night, but Moore's first-half response kept the game alive. Ryan Longman levelled early in the second half before Moore's second and Windass' nerveless spot-kick completed a turnaround worthy of the raucous Boxing Day crowd.
