Wrexham secured their first Championship victory of the season with a dominant 3-0 triumph over Millwall, significantly boosting their aspirations for a Premier League promotion. This victory in south London comes as a strong response following a series of mixed results, including draws with Cardiff and Watford and a home defeat at the hands of Birmingham.
The breakthrough for Wrexham came in the first half when Millwall’s Zak Sturge inadvertently turned Issa Kaboré’s cross into his own net, giving Wrexham the lead. Shortly after the break, Kieffer Moore extended the advantage with a powerful 20-yard shot. Jacques Ekomié then sealed the win with a close-range finish, ensuring a comprehensive victory for the visitors.
For Millwall, the defeat marked another disappointing outing, having conceded eight goals in their last two matches. This downturn in form followed an initial season start marked by consecutive clean-sheet victories. Adding to their woes were injuries sustained by striker Josh Coburn and midfielder Casper De Norre, further complicating their campaign.
Elsewhere in the league, QPR continued their impressive start by defeating Cardiff 2-1 at Loftus Road. Rumarn Burrell was the standout performer, netting both goals for QPR, while Perry Ng managed to score a consolation goal for Cardiff. This win elevated QPR to 10 points from four matches, underscoring their strong position early in the season.
In other matches, Burnley and Middlesbrough played out a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor. Middlesbrough took an early lead through Aidan Morris, but Burnley’s Ugo Raghouber equalised soon after the interval. Meanwhile, Charlton maintained their unbeaten record by drawing 1-1 with West Brom. A goal from Callum Styles put West Brom ahead, only for Tyreece Campbell to level the score in the second half.
