Millwall Football Club were beaten 3-0 by Wrexham at The Den on Wednesday, September 2, as the visitors secured their first Championship win of the season. The defeat came just days after a 5-1 loss to Southampton.
Wrexham took the lead in the first half when a shot from new signing Issa Kabore was deflected past Millwall goalkeeper Max Crocombe by defender Zak Sturge for an own goal. After the break, the visitors extended their advantage with well-taken finishes from Kieffer Moore and Jacques Ekomie, confirming a comprehensive victory. The result means Millwall have now conceded eight goals in their last two matches, a stark contrast to the two clean sheets they kept in their opening fixtures against Bristol City and Norwich City.
Alex Neil's team struggled to create clear chances and were unable to recover from the early setback. The performance raised questions about defensive solidity ahead of an important period in the season.
Following this result and other matches, Millwall's verified league standing as of September 8 is seventh in the Championship. They have nine points from five games, with a record of three wins and two losses. Their goal difference stands at +2, having scored ten and conceded eight so far this campaign.
The Lions are currently two points behind league leaders Swansea City. Their recent form sequence reads as Win, Loss, Loss, Win, Win, showing they have been able to respond to setbacks but will seek greater consistency.
The fixture was available to watch in the United Kingdom on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football. In the United States, Paramount+ carried the coverage, while fans in India could watch via FanCode and those in Australia on BeIN Sports.
For future games, including the next Championship fixture, supporters should check official club channels and broadcast listings. The global interest in the Championship ensures most of Millwall's matches are widely accessible.
The immediate focus shifts to preparation for the next league game. Millwall travel to face Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, September 12. Blackburn currently sit 16th in the table, providing an opportunity for Neil's side to return to winning ways on the road. The full schedule of upcoming matches is available on the club's fixtures page.
Manager Alex Neil will demand a reaction from his players after two heavy defeats. The international break offers a brief period for adjustment before a busy schedule of Championship football resumes.
