A dream Championship debut for Moylan

Ireland’s Jack Moylan made his Sky Bet Championship debut on Monday night, and he picked a good one.

Cardiff City rescued a 1-1 draw with Wrexham with almost the final kick at Cardiff City Stadium, in the first league meeting between the Welsh rivals since 2002.

Wrexham looked to have the derby bragging rights sewn up as the game ticked into the eighth minute of added time. Then George Dobson brought down Joel Colwill on the edge of the box, and his brother Rubin stepped up to lash a free-kick over the wall and past Anthony Patterson.

It cancelled out Kieffer Moore’s third-minute opener, the former Cardiff forward’s seventh against the Bluebirds and his first goal since February.

How Jack Moylan fared on his league bow

Brian Barry-Murphy’s defensive options were stretched by injuries to Calum Chambers, Dylan Lawlor and Will Fish, so much so that usual left-back and former Ireland U21 international Joel Bagan was switched inside to partner Gabriel Osho. The new-look pairing was exposed immediately for Moore’s goal, with Osho playing the striker onside.
