Paul Mullin scores worldie for Wrexham but fans make the same joke
Paul Mullin delivered a Christmas cracker of a goal, but barely anyone in attendance could see it happen. Mullin started up top for Wrexham as they hosted Steve Bruce’s Blackpool for their Boxing Day fixture in League One. Sky SportsMullin’s goal was as good as they come, scoring a thumping volley[/caption] The Welsh side went into the contest unbeaten in their last seven matches across all competitions as they look to secure a staggering third-straight promotion. However, the undefeated streak looked in danger of being ended inside just three minutes as Tangerines forward Ashley Fletcher found the back of the net. Fletcher rose highest to nod home James Husband’s cross as the visitors enjoyed a dream start in north Wales. But Wrexham soon hit back in spectacular fashion with a goal worthy of the club’s Hollywood ownership. Wrexham striker Ollie Palmer flicked a header off of a throw-in on the right flank in Blackpool’s half into the direction of Mullin, who initially had his back to goal. Mullin cushioned the ball on his right quad before he waited for it to drop to the perfect height. He then unleashed a stunning first-time volley just inside the 18-yard box that flew past Blackpool goalkeeper Harry Tyrer and into the back of the net. It was as sweet a strike as Mullin could’ve asked for and brought Wrexham level. The sensational volley was also Mullin’s first League One goal since he scored on October 19 away to Rotherham United and his second of the season. Unfortunately for viewers and potentially some fans at The Racecourse, they may have missed out on Mullin’s goal entirely.

One fan wrote on X: “Super Paul Mullin finally scores and no one sees it! Typical.” Another said: “Kop end update… that was a brilliant Mullin goal that half the stadium couldn’t see!” Specsavers even got in on the fun and commented: “Can’t see ball.” One thing Wrexham fans can see is the team’s remarkable progress since Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought the club in November 2020. In fact, Reynolds was in town for Wrexham’s fixture against Cambridge United on December 14 and even brought fellow A-lister Channing Tatum with him. The pair got amongst it the night before the clash at The Fat Boar pub in Wrexham, with Reynolds bravely buying a round for everyone in the venue.
