Paul Mullin has always been the highlight of Wrexham matches. The star striker’s contribution to the Welsh side has been significant. Moreover, his injury posed a tough challenge for the Red Dragons early in the season. Now that Mullin made his comeback, he has been a key contributor to Wrexham’s impressive second-division journey. The talisman has netted four goals in over nine appearances for the club.
Mullin was also the only goalscorer in Wrexham’s previous draw against Bradford City. Despite an impressive performance, the star striker failed to lead his side to victory. However, the fixture raised a lot of eyebrows with its controversial decisions and foul play against the English forward. Following the latest draw, Wrexham will now visit former rivals Notts County on October 28.
