Wrexham came from behind to beat automatic promotion hopefuls Ipswich Town in an eight-goal thriller at Stok Cae Ras to move back into the Championship's play-off places.

Kieffer Moore's early strike against his former employers was cancelled out by Anis Mehmeti's first Ipswich goal midway through an action-packed opening half.

Josh Windass restored the Red Dragons' lead with a header, only for Ivan Azon to level for the visitors on the stroke of half time.

Kieran McKenna's men went ahead for the first time within two minutes of the restart when Cedric Kipre fired beyond Arthur Okonkwo from 20 yards out.

But after George Thomason notched his first goal for the club to make it 3-3, Callum Doyle and Nathan Broadhead added late efforts as Wrexham won a home league game for the first time in 2026.

The victory moved Phil Parkinson's side up to sixth - two points clear of seventh-placed Birmingham City.

Ipswich sit fourth, eight points adrift of the top two, although they have two games in hand.

Moore and Windass - back in the Wrexham side after starting on the bench at Bristol City four days earlier - combined after just six minutes to give the home side the lead.

Windass' headed flick-on found Moore, who charged down on goal before unleashing a left-footed strike beyond Christian Walton to end his eight-game run without a goal.

But after Wrexham lost Ben Sheaf to injury, Ipswich levelled as Okonkwo could only palm Jack Taylor's strike into the path of Mehmeti, who lashed into the roof of the net - his first goal since joining the Tractor Boys from Bristol City in January.

The visitors grew in confidence as a result, although they were pegged back again eight minutes before the break.

Thomason's shot was well saved by Walton, although Moore crossed for Windass who headed into the net to make it 2-1 with his 10th goal of the campaign across all competitions.

Moore and Callum Doyle both went close to extending Wrexham's lead, although Ipswich ended the half level after the hosts failed to take those chances.

Jack Taylor flicked into the path of Azon, who coolly slotted beyond Okonkwo in first-half added time to bring an end to a frenetic opening period.

It was more of the same in the second half, and after George Dobson could only half clear a cross, Kipre fired into the net from outside the box to put Ipswich in front on 47 minutes.

Wrexham regained control and Ipswich had Walton to thank for saving a Thomason strike after the left wing-back was expertly found by Windass.

The goalkeeper was at the centre of a controversial moment from the resulting corner as he collided with Wrexham defender Doyle, although referee Leigh Doughty did not feel the incident warranted a spot-kick.

But the Welsh side made it 3-3 in the 66th minute as substitute Nathan Broadhead - against his former club - had a shot blocked, although the ball fell into the path of Thomason who drilled into the net.

And they went ahead for a third time in the 75th minute when Lewis O'Brien's corner was met by Doyle and he headed beyond Walton

Doyle reacted well to head away a goalbound shot from Marcelino Nunez as Windass was denied by Walton at the other end.

But former Ipswich player Broadhead had the final say when he curled beyond Walton to settle the contest four minutes from time, and Wrexham secured a second win in eight days against Ipswich.

Only bottom club Sheffield Wednesday have conceded more home goals than Wrexham in the Championship so far this season.

But their ability to score goals at this level has never been in doubt from the moment they kick-started the season.

Parkinson's men registered 10 shots on target against Ipswich, meaning their five goals came at a rate of a goal every two shots on target.

Midfield maestro O'Brien produced a fine delivery from a corner to tee up Doyle, and he followed that up with an equally majestic through ball for Broadhead late on.

The 27-year-old oozed class in possession, and his typical energy ensured he got through a huge amount of defensive work too.

As for Ipswich, their fans endured another torrid trip to north Wales.

The Tractor Boys failed to register a single shot on goal in the FA Cup fourth round meeting between the sides at Stok Cae Ras eight days ago.

They were far more threatening this time around, although they were well and truly exposed defensively as their top two hopes took a real dent.

Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson:

"I thought Kieffer [Moore] was back to his best today, I thought he was unplayable, particularly in the first half and Josh [Windass] does what he does, he produces big moments.

"But in general in the game, I said to the lads at half time, 'don't let the goal affect us at 2-2'. I think we were unlucky not to be ahead, and then lo and behold the centre-half smashes one in to make it 3-2.

"I think a lesser group of players could have started to let a bit of fatigue creep into them mentally, but we didn't.

"We responded brilliantly and that's a great effort from the lads and the subs obviously impacted it when we needed them the most. All in all, the team effort today was right up there."

Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna:

"I'm really disappointed with the outcome and disappointed with ourselves. We've come away from home and scored three really good goals and it should be enough to win you the game.

"But we've conceded some really poor ones today and it's some clinical finishing from Wrexham.

"It was really frustrating because it was on the cusp of being a really good day for us with some of the qualities that we showed, but the goals we've conceded and the mistakes we've made as a team have cost us the result we wanted."
