Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney sent promotion warning as Wrexham’s League Two rivals Mansfield absolutely thrash Harrogate 9-2 - setting new EFL record in place since 1998

Mansfield secured all three points in emphatic style against eighth-placed Harrogate at the One Call Stadium Tuesday evening. Lucas Akins, Hiram Boateng, Tom Nichols, Davis Keillor-Dunn and Will Swan were all on the scoresheet, with Boateng netting a hat-trick and Akins and Swan both helping themselves to braces.

Mansfield became the first team since 1998 to net nine goals in an English Football League game following their staggering performance at home on Tuesday evening. The Stags also equalled their biggest win across the club's 127 year history.

Mansfield currently sit in second place within the League Two standings - five points ahead fellow promotion chasers Wrexham and their Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in fourth, who got a scrappy win over Sutton United on the same day. Nigel Clough's side now are also just one point behind league leaders Stockport County.

The Stags will face Walsall in their next fixture this weekend as they attempt to leap-frog Stockport to the top of table. The chase for promotion to League One is heating up across the division with several sides now in contention.
