Neither side managed a shot on target in the opening half at The Den, although Wrexham<\/a> went ahead on 28 minutes as Issa Kabore’s cross was deflected into the Millwall net by Sturge.<\/p>\n

Wales international Moore added his side’s second with a stunning 20-yard strike shortly after half-time before left wing-back Ekomie completed the rout with his first goal for the club.<\/p>\n

“We won here last year, and that was a strong performance, but I think today was a performance of far more quality,” added Parkinson.<\/p>\n

“It showed where the team has progressed to. These are a good side, Millwall, they’re a hard team to play at home and away.<\/p>\n

“I thought we controlled the game for long periods tonight.”<\/p>\n

Moore’s strike was his second of the campaign following his goal in the 1-1 draw with his former club Cardiff City<\/a> on the opening weekend of the season.<\/p>\n

Boss Parkinson was full of praise for the 34-year-old following his pivotal role in the Red Dragons’ triumph over Alex Neil’s outfit.<\/p>\n

“Kieffer was good, wasn’t he?” Parkinson added.<\/p>\n

“He’s up against three 6ft 5in centre-backs. That’s tough. He gets battered from pillar to post.<\/p>\n

“But he kept the ball, his ball retention was really good and he deserved that goal today.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Neither side managed a shot on target in the opening half at The Den, although Wrexham went ahead…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":878375,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-878374","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/878374","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=878374"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/878374\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/878375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=878374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=878374"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=878374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
