The Welsh international bagged a double as Phil Parkinson's side mounted a stunning fightback from 3-1 down to overcome his former club Sheffield United in a pulsating eight-goal Championship contest.

The forward's excellent volley put United ahead, but Wrexham levelled just two minutes later thanks to a Tyler Bindon unfortunate deflection.

A quickfire double from Bamford and a Callum O'Hare nod seemingly have put the visitors in command at 3-1, until Moore pulled one back with a powerful goal of his own.

Breathless Second-Half Turnaround

The winger's header early in the second half made it all square, paving the way for the goalscorer to put Wrexham ahead for the first time with a quarter of an hour remaining.

The midfielder's composed spot-kick late on wrapped up the points, halting a sequence of five games without victory for the Welsh club.

Match Reflection

When these two sides met in the cup competition back in 2023, it finished in a epic 3-3 draw.

Friday's encounter provided another high-octane, dramatic installment in their recent history.

Backed by high-profile investors, Wrexham's remarkable rise through the divisions has brought them back to the second tier for the first time since the 1980s.

Coming into this fixture on the following a winless run, manager Phil Parkinson had called for a return of the famous spirit from those past encounters.

His team undoubtedly delivered, overcoming a 3-1 deficit to secure a memorable 5-3 victory that highlights their never-say-die attitude.
