Millwall Football Club were beaten 3-0 by Wrexham in a Sky Bet Championship match at The Den on Wednesday, 2 September 2026. The comprehensive defeat ended their winning start to the season and dropped them to 10th place in the league table.
Wrexham earned their first victory of the campaign thanks to a Kieffer Moore brace and a goal from Jacques Ekomie. A Zak Sturge own goal had set them on their way. Millwall, who had won their opening two fixtures without conceding, have now let in eight goals in two games following a 5-1 loss to Southampton.
What went wrong for Millwall?
The match got away from Alex Neil's side early. An own goal from Zak Sturge gave Wrexham a foothold they never relinquished. Kieffer Moore's double, scored before and after half-time, effectively decided the contest before Jacques Ekomie added a late third.
Injuries compounded a difficult evening. Striker Josh Coburn and midfielder Casper De Norre were both forced off, depleting Neil's options. The squad had already been impacted by the departure of Femi Azeez, who joined Brighton for £15 million the day before the match.
What was the reaction from the dugout?
Millwall manager Alex Neil did not hide his disappointment in comments reported by Sky Sports Football. "A disappointing night at the office," Neil admitted. "We had to change our shape because of a lack of wide players."
Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson offered a contrasting view. "I am pleased to get the first win of the season," Parkinson said. "I felt it was deserved."
What is Millwall's current league position?
Following this result, Millwall occupy 10th spot in the Championship. Their record shows two wins and two defeats from four matches, giving them six points. They have scored six goals and conceded eight, leaving them with a minus two goal difference. Swansea City lead the division, with Millwall four points behind them.
