Wrexham celebrated their first Championship win of the season with a commanding 3-0 victory against Millwall, invigorating their ambitions for a Premier League promotion challenge. The team bounced back from a mixed start to the campaign, which included draws against Cardiff and Watford and a home loss to Birmingham, by delivering a strong performance in south London.
The breakthrough came in the first half when an unfortunate own goal by Zak Sturge, deflecting Issa Kaboré’s cross, put Wrexham in the lead. The advantage was extended soon after the break when Kieffer Moore unleashed a powerful strike from approximately 20 yards, leaving the Millwall defense scrambling. Jacques Ekomié sealed the impressive victory with a straightforward close-range finish.
For Millwall, the defeat compounded recent struggles, having now let in eight goals over the last two matches after starting the season with two clean-sheet wins. The team’s woes were further exacerbated by injuries to key players, striker Josh Coburn and midfielder Casper De Norre, adding to their challenges.
Meanwhile, QPR continued their robust start to the season, securing a 2-1 win over Cardiff at Loftus Road. Rumarn Burrell was the standout player for QPR, scoring both goals, while Perry Ng managed to reduce the deficit for Cardiff. This victory pushed QPR to 10 points from their first four matches, highlighting their early-season form.
Elsewhere, Burnley and Middlesbrough played to a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor. Aidan Morris gave Middlesbrough the lead in the first half, but Burnley’s Ugo Raghouber equalized shortly after halftime. Charlton also maintained their unbeaten streak by drawing 1-1 with West Brom. Callum Styles put West Brom ahead before Tyreece Campbell leveled the score in the second half.
