Kieffer Moore Scores a Brace as Wrexham Outlast The Blades in Eight-Goal Thriller

The Welsh international scored twice as Phil Parkinson's side mounted a remarkable fightback from a two-goal deficit to defeat his former club Chris Wilder's men in a pulsating 5-3 second-tier encounter.

The forward's excellent first-time shot put United ahead, but Wrexham levelled almost immediately thanks to a Tyler Bindon unfortunate deflection.

Bamford's second and a Callum O'Hare nod appeared to have put the visitors in command at 3-1, before the towering striker pulled one back with a thumping header of his own.

Breathless Second-Half Comeback

The winger's header early in the second half brought the scores level, paving the way for the goalscorer to give his side the lead for the first time with 14 minutes left to play.

The midfielder's composed spot-kick in the closing stages wrapped up the points, halting a sequence of five games without a win for the Welsh club.
