    In Wrexham's Championship season opener at St Mary's, Kieffer Moore won his side a penalty, and then fellow summer signing Windass slotted home the subsequent spotkick in the 22nd minute. The Welsh team have been out of this division for more than four decades but they looked right at home in the first half against Southampton.
