Wrexham secured their first Championship win of the season with a commanding 3-0 victory over Millwall, enhancing their prospects of a possible promotion to the Premier League. This triumph comes after a series of mixed results at the start of the season, where Wrexham managed to draw against Cardiff and Watford but faced a setback with a home loss to Birmingham. In their latest match in south London, Wrexham demonstrated resilience and skill to claim victory.
The breakthrough for Wrexham came in the first half when Zak Sturge’s attempt to clear Issa Kaboré’s cross led to an own goal, giving Wrexham an early advantage. The team capitalized on this momentum shortly after the break as Kieffer Moore scored with a powerful shot from around 20 yards out, doubling their lead. Jacques Ekomié later sealed the win with a close-range finish, ensuring a comprehensive victory over Millwall.
For Millwall, the result marked another blow, as they have now conceded eight goals in their last two matches, a stark contrast to their initial season performance that saw them achieve consecutive clean-sheet victories. Their troubles were further exacerbated by injuries to key players, striker Josh Coburn and midfielder Casper De Norre, adding to their challenges in the early stages of the campaign.
In other Championship matches, QPR maintained their strong form with a 2-1 win against Cardiff at Loftus Road. Rumarn Burrell was the star for QPR, netting both goals, while Perry Ng managed to score for Cardiff. This result boosted QPR to 10 points from their opening four matches. Meanwhile, Burnley and Middlesbrough shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor, with Aidan Morris putting Middlesbrough in front in the first half before Burnley’s Ugo Raghouber equalized shortly after halftime.
Charlton continued their unbeaten run with a 1-1 draw against West Brom. Callum Styles opened the scoring for West Brom, but Tyreece Campbell’s second-half equalizer ensured Charlton remained without a loss this season. The Championship continues to deliver excitement and unpredictability as teams vie for early positioning in the league standings.
