The Racecourse Ground's game concluded with a swarm of fans rushing onto the pitch to revel in the victory.

As he watched the game, he complimented the performance of 29-year-old forward Paul Mullin. Mullin scored two goals in the first half, which contributed to Wrexham's 4-0 lead going into halftime.

"I think this is the goal that stands out to me the most. It wasn't the game-winning goal or anything flashy. It was simply a display of persistence, hard work, and determination," he expressed.

PMullin7 understands that the individuals in the stadium paid their well-deserved salary to witness players give their best effort. They should receive the maximum level of performance, which he consistently provides without fail.
