Wrexham came from behind to beat automatic promotion hopefuls Ipswich Town 5-3 in an eight-goal thriller at Stok Cae Ras, reclaiming their place in the Championship play-off positions and landing another blow in the promotion race. The sides were meeting in the league for only the second time, after a goalless draw in November, and this latest encounter came just eight days after Wrexham had already seen off Ipswich in an FA Cup fourth-round tie at the same ground.
On a breathless afternoon that saw the momentum swing repeatedly, former Ipswich striker Kieffer Moore and Josh Windass twice put the hosts in front, only for Anis Mehmeti and Ivan Azon to haul the visitors level before the break, while Cedric Kipre's thunderous strike early in the second half gave Kieran McKenna's side the lead for the first time. George Thomason's first Wrexham goal, Callum Doyle's towering header and ex-Town forward Nathan Broadhead's late clincher eventually settled a wild contest, securing Wrexham's first home league win of 2026 and a second victory over Ipswich in eight days.
Breathless First Half of Shifting Momentum
Restored to the starting line-up after beginning on the bench at Bristol City four days earlier, Moore and Windass needed only six minutes to justify Phil Parkinson's decision. Windass flicked a header into space, Moore burst through against his former club and lashed a left-footed strike past Christian Walton from a tight angle, ending an eight-game goal drought and scoring his first goal since Boxing Day.
