Kieffer Moore Hat-Trick Ends Coventry’s Unbeaten Run in Thrilling Wrexham Win
What a night it was at the Stok Cae Ras! Wrexham fans witnessed one of the most exciting performances of their Championship season as their team came from behind to defeat league leaders Coventry City 3-2 — ending the Sky Blues’ impressive unbeaten run. And at the heart of it all was Kieffer Moore, whose perfect hat-trick wrote his name into Wrexham’s modern-day history books.
The match started with Coventry looking sharp and composed, as expected from a team that had gone twelve league games without defeat. Their confidence showed early when Ephron Mason-Clark gave Frank Lampard’s men the lead in the 22nd minute, calmly slotting the ball past Arthur Okonkwo after a clever assist from Tatsuhiro Sakamoto. At that point, it seemed like business as usual for the Sky Blues — another clinical away performance in the making.
But Wrexham had other ideas. Manager Phil Parkinson’s side came out for the second half with renewed energy, driven by their home supporters and a belief that something special could happen. That spark arrived on the hour mark when Josh Windass whipped in a beautiful cross, and Kieffer Moore rose to head home the equaliser. The roar inside the stadium was deafening — Wrexham were back in it.

Nine minutes later, the story took another thrilling turn. Windass once again delivered a pinpoint ball into the box, and Moore, full of confidence, guided a brilliant header into the bottom corner to make it 2-1. Suddenly, the league leaders were rattled, and Wrexham smelled blood.
Moore wasn’t done yet. In the 83rd minute, he completed his perfect hat-trick — one with his head, one with his right foot, and now a left-footed strike that flew past Coventry’s keeper Carl Rushworth. It was a vintage performance from the 33-year-old Wales international, who now has nine goals in just fifteen appearances this season.
Coventry tried to fight back, and Sakamoto curled in a stunning goal in the 88th minute to make it 3-2, but Wrexham’s defense stood tall in the final moments. When the final whistle blew, the crowd erupted — a huge win that lifted Wrexham into the top half of the Championship table and gave them their most memorable victory since their return to the league.
Phil Parkinson praised his team, calling it a “proper Wrexham performance,” while Frank Lampard admitted his Coventry side had “dropped their standards” for the first time this season. For Wrexham fans, though, this night was all about belief — the belief that they belong at this level and can compete with the very best.
And as KC and The Sunshine Band’s “Give It Up” rang through the stadium, with fans chanting “Kieffer, Kieffer Moore,” it was clear — this was a night that will be remembered for years to come in north Wales.
