Wrexham secured their first victory of the Championship season with a commanding 3-0 triumph over Millwall, a result that strengthens their ambitions of vying for a Premier League promotion. This win comes after a series of mixed outcomes, including draws against Cardiff and Watford, followed by a loss at home to Birmingham. Their performance in South London showcased a robust response to these early challenges.
The breakthrough for Wrexham came from an unfortunate own goal by Zak Sturge, who inadvertently turned Issa Kaboré’s cross into his own net during the first half. The lead was extended shortly after the interval when Kieffer Moore unleashed a powerful shot from about 20 yards, doubling their advantage. Jacques Ekomié capped off the victory with a close-range finish, sealing a comprehensive win for the visitors.
For Millwall, the defeat marked a continuing defensive struggle, with the team conceding eight goals over their last two matches, a sharp contrast to their initial back-to-back clean-sheet victories at the start of the season. Their woes were further exacerbated by injuries to key players, striker Josh Coburn and midfielder Casper De Norre, adding to their mounting concerns.
In other Championship action, QPR maintained their impressive early form with a 2-1 win against Cardiff at Loftus Road. Rumarn Burrell emerged as the hero for QPR by scoring both goals, while Perry Ng managed to score a consolation goal for Cardiff. This victory propelled QPR to 10 points from their opening four matches, reflecting a solid start.
Elsewhere, Burnley played out a 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough at Turf Moor. Middlesbrough initially took the lead through Aidan Morris in the first half, but Burnley’s Ugo Raghouber equalized shortly after halftime to ensure a share of the spoils. Meanwhile, Charlton continued their unbeaten streak with a 1-1 stalemate against West Brom, as Callum Styles netted for West Brom before Tyreece Campbell leveled the score in the second half.
