Wrexham Beat Sheffield United 5–3 in Boxing Day Comeback

The comeback capped a turbulent month for a short-handed Wrexham.

Overview

  • The Championship match kicked off at 5:30 p.m. GMT at the Racecourse Ground and was shown on Sky Sports in the UK and on Paramount+ in the U.S.
  • Wrexham trailed 3-1 before goals from Kieffer Moore (two), Ryan Longman and a late Josh Windass penalty sealed the turnaround.
  • The win stops Wrexham’s five-game winless run and checks Sheffield United’s momentum after their 3-0 victory over Birmingham.
  • Pre-match markets had Sheffield United narrowly favored and several previews leaned toward a draw, framing the result as an upset against expectation.
  • The contest came after weeks of injuries, suspension and an AFCON call-up affecting selections and revived tensions from the clubs’ fiery 2023 FA Cup meetings, including Chris Wilder’s “absolute nonsense” rebuttal to critics.
