  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    In Wrexham's Championship season opener at St Mary's, Kieffer Moore won his side a penalty, and then fellow summer signing Windass slotted home the subsequent spotkick in the 22nd minute. The Welsh team have been out of this division for more than four decades but they looked right at home in the first half against Southampton.

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    After securing three straight promotions from the National League, Wrexham were expected to struggle a bit more in the Championship. But so far, Phil Parkinson's men look well suited to the English second-tier. Another promotion may be a step too far but they have made a positive start.
