Kieffer Moore Fires Twice as Wrexham Outlast The Blades in Eight-Goal Spectacle

The Welsh international scored twice as Wrexham mounted a stunning comeback from 3-1 down to defeat his old team Chris Wilder's men in a pulsating eight-goal second-tier contest.

The forward's sweetly-struck first-time shot opened the scoring, but the hosts levelled just two minutes later courtesy of a deflected own goal.

Bamford's second and a close-range header seemingly have put the visitors in command at 3-1, until Moore pulled one back with a thumping header of his own.
