The Welsh international bagged a double as Phil Parkinson's side produced a stunning comeback from 3-1 down to overcome his old team Chris Wilder's men in a pulsating 5-3 second-tier encounter.

The forward's excellent volley opened the scoring, but Wrexham equalised almost immediately courtesy of a Tyler Bindon unfortunate deflection.

Bamford's second and a Callum O'Hare nod appeared to have handed United in command at 3-1, until Moore reduced the arrears with a thumping header of his own.

Dramatic Second Period Comeback

Ryan Longman's header early in the second half 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' composed spot-kick late on wrapped up the points, halting a sequence of five matches without a win for the Welsh club.

Match Reflection

When these two sides met in the FA Cup nearly three years ago, it finished in a thrilling six-goal stalemate.

Friday's encounter provided a further high-octane, dramatic chapter in their growing rivalry.

With the support of Hollywood owners, the club's meteoric ascent through the divisions has led them back to the Championship for the first time since the 1980s.

Ahead of this fixture on the back of a poor patch of form, the boss had demanded a replication of the characteristic spirit from those past encounters.

His team undoubtedly delivered, overcoming a 3-1 deficit to secure a famous 5-3 victory that underscores their never-say-die character.
