Wrexham went to the Den and took all three points from Millwall with a 0:3 win in the fourth round of the Championship. By then, the visitors had already shown they were sharper in the final third.
The visitors took the lead inside the first half, and here's the thing about how it happened. Z. Sturge bundled in his own goal in the 28th minute to give Wrexham the cushion they needed. Millwall had been holding their shape, but that error changed everything.
The second half started with Wrexham pressing and they got their reward in the 52nd minute. K. Moore found the net to double the advantage, and things came to a head later when J. Ekomie added a third in the 69th minute.
To be fair, the statistics tell you exactly what happened on the pitch. Wrexham held 61% of the possession and registered three shots on target, while Millwall managed none. The expected goals figures show the same story, with 0.88 for the visitors against 0.24 for the hosts.
The result leaves Millwall in 10th place with six points after four matches. Wrexham move up to 11th with five points, closing the gap on the hosts.
