Wrexham secured their first Championship win of the season with a commanding 3-0 victory over Millwall, enhancing their ambitions of a potential promotion to the Premier League. The win in south London comes after Wrexham’s initial draws against Cardiff and Watford and a home defeat to Birmingham, marking a significant turnaround for the team.
The breakthrough came in the first half when a cross from Issa Kaboré took a deflection off Zak Sturge, resulting in an own goal that put Wrexham ahead. Wrexham extended their lead shortly after the break with Kieffer Moore delivering a powerful 20-yard strike. Jacques Ekomié sealed the triumph with a close-range finish, affirming the team’s dominance in the match.
This defeat adds to Millwall’s recent struggles, having now conceded eight goals in their last two outings following a promising start with two consecutive clean sheets. The situation for Millwall worsened with the injuries to key players, striker Josh Coburn and midfielder Casper De Norre, adding to their woes.
In other Championship action, QPR maintained their strong form with a 2-1 victory over Cardiff at Loftus Road. Rumarn Burrell was instrumental in QPR’s success, scoring both goals, while Perry Ng managed to score a consolation goal for Cardiff. This win elevates QPR to 10 points from their first four matches.
Meanwhile, Burnley played out a 1-1 draw against Middlesbrough at Turf Moor. Middlesbrough initially took the lead through Aidan Morris in the first half, but Burnley’s Ugo Raghouber equalised shortly after the interval. Similarly, Charlton upheld their unbeaten record in a 1-1 stalemate with West Brom, where Callum Styles scored for West Brom and Tyreece Campbell netted the equaliser for Charlton.
