Wrexham celebrated their inaugural Championship win of the season with an emphatic 3-0 triumph over Millwall, invigorating their aspirations of vying for a spot in the Premier League. After beginning their campaign with draws against Cardiff and Watford, followed by a home loss to Birmingham, Wrexham showcased resilience with a commanding performance in south London.
The breakthrough came courtesy of an own goal by Zak Sturge, who inadvertently deflected Issa Kaboré’s cross into Millwall’s net, granting Wrexham the lead in the first half. Their dominance continued shortly after the interval when Kieffer Moore unleashed a powerful shot from about 20 yards, doubling the advantage. Jacques Ekomié sealed the victory with a close-range conversion, completing the scoring and securing a convincing win.
The defeat marked another setback for Millwall, who have now let in eight goals over their last two games, despite starting the season with back-to-back clean sheets. Adding to their woes were injuries sustained by striker Josh Coburn and midfielder Casper De Norre, further complicating their situation.
In other Championship matches, QPR maintained their strong start with a 2-1 win against Cardiff at Loftus Road. Rumarn Burrell was the star for QPR, netting both goals, while Perry Ng managed to score for Cardiff. This victory elevated QPR to a total of 10 points from four matches.

Middlesbrough took the initial lead through Aidan Morris in the first half, but Burnley’s Ugo Raghouber equalized shortly after the restart. Meanwhile, Charlton preserved their unbeaten record by drawing 1-1 with West Brom. Callum Styles put West Brom ahead, but Tyreece Campbell ensured a share of the spoils with a second-half equalizer.
