Wrexham's Kieffer Moore Scores Twice as Wrexham Outlast Sheffield United in Eight-Goal Spectacle

The forward's excellent volley opened the scoring, but the hosts levelled almost immediately thanks to a Tyler Bindon own goal.

A quickfire double from Bamford and a close-range nod seemingly have put the visitors in a comfortable lead at 3-1, until the towering striker pulled one back with a thumping goal of his own.
