In Wrexham’s 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.

After securing three straight promotions from the 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.

After this game against Will Still’s Southampton, Wrexham entertain fellow Championship outfit City in the first round of the on Tuesday, before hosting West Brom next Saturday in their next league fixture.
