Wrexham secured their first Championship win of the season with a commanding 3-0 victory over Millwall, raising their ambitions for a potential Premier League promotion. The team had a mixed start to the season, drawing against Cardiff and Watford and then suffering a defeat at the hands of Birmingham. However, they managed to turn their fortunes around with a strong performance in south London.
The breakthrough for Wrexham came when Zak Sturge inadvertently sent the ball into his own net following a deflected cross from Issa Kaboré, putting Wrexham ahead in the first half. Kieffer Moore then extended the lead shortly after halftime with an impressive strike from approximately 20 yards out. Jacques Ekomié sealed the victory with a decisive close-range goal, ensuring the team left with a convincing win.
For Millwall, the match added to their woes, as they have now conceded eight goals in just two matches, a sharp contrast to their initial back-to-back clean-sheet victories at the beginning of the season. Their troubles were further exacerbated by injuries to striker Josh Coburn and midfielder Casper De Norre, adding to the challenges they face moving forward.
In other Championship action, QPR maintained their positive start to the season with a 2-1 win against Cardiff at Loftus Road. Rumarn Burrell was instrumental for QPR, scoring both of their goals, while Perry Ng managed to score for Cardiff. This victory propelled QPR to 10 points from their opening four matches.
Meanwhile, Burnley and Middlesbrough ended their contest at Turf Moor in a 1-1 draw. Middlesbrough initially took the lead through Aidan Morris in the first half, but Burnley’s Ugo Raghouber equalized soon after the break. Additionally, Charlton preserved their unbeaten record by drawing 1-1 with West Brom, with Callum Styles scoring for West Brom and Tyreece Campbell leveling the score for Charlton in the second half.
