In a significant boost for their Championship campaign, Wrexham achieved their first win of the season with a commanding 3-0 victory over Millwall. This result comes as a positive turn for Wrexham, who aim to position themselves as contenders for promotion to the Premier League. The team had started their season with draws against Cardiff and Watford, followed by a home defeat to Birmingham, but showcased resilience with this win in south London.
The match saw Wrexham take the lead in the first half, courtesy of an own goal by Zak Sturge, which stemmed from a deflected cross by Issa Kaboré. The momentum continued after the break, with Kieffer Moore powering a strike from nearly 20 yards to double their advantage. Jacques Ekomié sealed the victory with a close-range finish, ensuring a comprehensive triumph for the visitors.
Millwall, on the other hand, faced another disappointing outcome, having now conceded eight goals in their last two matches despite starting the season with two clean sheets. Their struggles were further exacerbated by injuries to key players, striker Josh Coburn and midfielder Casper De Norre, adding to their woes.
Meanwhile, in a different encounter, QPR maintained their strong form with a 2-1 win against Cardiff at Loftus Road. Rumarn Burrell was the standout performer, netting both goals for QPR, while Perry Ng managed to score for Cardiff. This victory elevated QPR to 10 points from their four matches, highlighting their promising start to the season.
Elsewhere in the Championship, Burnley played to a 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough at Turf Moor. Middlesbrough’s Aidan Morris opened the scoring in the first half, but Burnley found an equaliser shortly after the break through midfielder Ugo Raghouber. Charlton also preserved their unbeaten record with a 1-1 draw against West Brom, where Callum Styles gave West Brom the lead, only for Tyreece Campbell to level the score in the second half.
