Ryan Reynolds and Rob McLuhan run Wrexham, arguably the most popular Welsh side. The duo’s takeover has helped the Red Dragons amass a significant fan base throughout the past two seasons. While the Hollywood A-listers have done wonders for the team, the most impressive has been bringing Paul Mullin. The English striker has been a key contributor to all that the Welsh side has achieved over the past two seasons. And the Red Dragons are well aware of it.

Mullin is slowly getting back on track with Wrexham after recovering from a severe injury. As the player slowly settles into the football division, the latest fixture surely put him to the test.

Wrexham Vs. Bradford takes Paul Mullin for a ride

To everyone’s surprise, Wrexham’s run in the second division has been more dramatic than expected. Every fixture of the Red Dragons has given the fans a run for their money. Their recent fixture against Bradford was no exception, as Adam Wilson scored an unexpectedly late equalizer for the Bantams. However, it was not the goal but the undenied penalty to Paul Mullin that hugely upset the fans and players alike. Following the game, Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson gave a furious interview as he asked “for better protection in open play for Mulls.“

As per reports by Goal, Parkinson revealed how the foul was a hundred percent penalty. The opposition defenders dragged and pulled down the star striker in the box near the first half. Parkinson further admitted that the Wrexham talisman suffered in the second half as well. The Wrexham boss spoke, “I thought he got pushed into the hoardings in the second half, but it is a physical game.” Meanwhile, Reynolds, who loves Mullin and calls him his favorite striker, has yet to give a statement.

Mullin has always been a target among the opposition teams in both leagues because of his incredible goal-scoring abilities. While the star striker has never been very outspoken, the latest fixture indeed upset him.

Paul Mullin was incredibly unhappy about the unfair treatment during their latest fixture. At the same time, the star striker had a commendable start, with Mullin giving the Red Dragons an early lead. However, for the rest of the game, the talisman had to struggle. Following the game, Mullin took to Twitter as he expressed disappointment for securing only a single point in the dramatic fixture.

The star striker revealed “feeling gutted” for not being able to bag the three points. However, he praised the away supporters for their continuous support of the Red Dragons. The latest results have surely made the challenge for promotion more difficult for Wrexham. They currently stand at the fourth position with 24 points so far.
