Kieffer Moore Fires a Brace as The Red Dragons Outlast The Blades in Goal-Filled Thriller
The striker wheels away in delight after finding the net for Wrexham's fourth goal in the clash with the Blades.
The Welsh international scored twice as Wrexham mounted a stunning comeback from a two-goal deficit to defeat his former club Chris Wilder's men in a breathtaking 5-3 Championship contest.
The forward's excellent first-time shot opened the scoring, but the hosts levelled almost immediately courtesy of a Tyler Bindon own goal.
Bamford's second and a Callum O'Hare header seemingly have put the visitors in command at 3-1, before Moore reduced the arrears with a powerful goal of his own.
Dramatic Second Period Turnaround
The winger's glancing effort early in the second period brought the scores level, paving the way for Moore to put Wrexham ahead for the first time with 14 minutes left to play.
Josh Windass' confident penalty late on sealed the win, halting a sequence of five games without victory for the Welsh club.
