Wrexham Roar Back in Eight-Goal Classic to Stun Sheffield United
What unfolded at the Stok Cae Ras was one of those Championship nights that people will be talking about for a long time. Wrexham produced a dramatic comeback to beat Sheffield United 5-3 in a breathless, eight-goal thriller, ending a frustrating run without a win and reminding everyone just how dangerous they can be at home.
The tone of the game was set almost immediately. Sheffield United came out fast and were rewarded early when Patrick Bamford’s volley looped over Arthur Okonkwo to give the visitors the lead. That advantage barely had time to settle, though, as Wrexham struck back within minutes. A dangerous delivery was turned into the net by Tyler Bindon for an own goal, and suddenly the crowd was fully alive.

The match refused to slow down. Bamford restored United’s lead with his second goal, again finishing from a cross, before Callum O’Hare’s header made it 3-1 and left Wrexham staring at a tough afternoon. At that point, the game felt like it might be slipping away, especially given Wrexham’s recent struggles and the absence of key players through injury and suspension.
However, belief was never lost. Kieffer Moore, facing his former club, pulled one back with a powerful header before half-time, and that goal completely changed the mood. The second half had barely started when Ryan Longman rose to meet a cross and headed home to make it 3-3, sending the home fans into celebration and setting the stage for a dramatic finish.
Momentum was now firmly with Wrexham. Chances were created at both ends, but it was Moore who delivered the decisive moment. With just over 10 minutes to go, he finished calmly to complete his double and put Wrexham ahead for the first time all night. From there, Sheffield United pushed, but crucial saves were made, and their composure began to fade.
The comeback was sealed late on when Josh Windass stepped up and converted a penalty, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way and making it 5-3. Even then, the drama was not quite over, as a Sheffield United volley rattled the crossbar in stoppage time, summing up a game packed with chaos and quality.
In the end, this was a statement win for Wrexham. Five goals, a comeback from two goals down, and a match full of heart and intensity showed exactly what this team is capable of. For Sheffield United, it was a painful reminder of how quickly control can be lost in this relentless division.
