The Welsh international bagged a double as Wrexham mounted a stunning fightback from a two-goal deficit to overcome his former club Sheffield United in a pulsating eight-goal Championship contest.

The forward's sweetly-struck volley opened the scoring, but the hosts equalised almost immediately thanks to a Tyler Bindon unfortunate deflection.

Bamford's second and a Callum O'Hare header seemingly have handed United in command at 3-1, until Moore pulled one back with a thumping header of his own.

Dramatic Second-Half Comeback

Ryan Longman's glancing effort early in the second period brought the scores level, before Moore to put Wrexham ahead for the first time with a quarter of an hour remaining.

Josh Windass' composed penalty in the closing stages wrapped up the points, ending a sequence of five matches without victory for the Welsh club.

Talking Points from the Fixture

• Wrexham were without a key midfielder due to a shoulder problem, while skipper McClean started a three-game suspension.
• Goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo retained his place after a late mistake in the previous game.
• The visitors began on the front foot and took the lead through their striker from a Femi Seriki.
• The leveller came quickly via a own goal from Windass' attempt.
• The forward saw a header hooked away before O'Hare nodded in a third goal for United.
• Okonkwo made a vital stop to keep out Ollie Arblaster in the later stages.
• Substitute Campbell hit the crossbar with a volley in added time.

Match Reflection

In their previous meeting in the FA Cup nearly three years ago, it ended in a thrilling six-goal stalemate.

Friday's encounter provided a further epic, breathless chapter in their recent history.

Backed by Hollywood owners, Wrexham's remarkable ascent through the divisions has brought them back to the second tier for the first time since the 1980s.

Coming into this fixture on the back of a poor patch of form, the boss had demanded a return of the characteristic fighting qualities from those cup ties.

His team certainly delivered, overcoming a 3-1 deficit to secure a memorable 5-3 victory that highlights their resilient character.
