Ryan Reynolds reflects on another 'WTF-bonkers' Wrexham season and pays tribute to iconic Paul Mullin after Red Dragons boost promotion hopes with dramatic Colchester win

Wrexham came from behind to beat Colchester 2-1 to climb to second in League Two on Saturday. After Paul Mullin cancelled out John Akinde's opener, Max Cleworth scored five minutes from time to secure a priceless three points. After the victory, co-owner Reynolds lauded his team and gave a special thanks to Mullin, who scored his 100th goal for the club.

In an Instagram story, the Hollywood actor wrote: "Four matches remaining. Come from behind win, tick. Paul Mullin's 100th goal, tick. Max Cleworth's first goal, tick. Life-threatening tension and gut-wrenching suspense as we come to the close of another WTF-bonkers season, tick."

The result means Wrexham strengthen their grasp on the automatic promotion spots, with Phil Parkinson's men holding a three point gap over fourth-placed Mansfield Town - although the Stags do have a game in hand. The Welsh outfit, who are two points ahead of MK Dons in third and have played a game fewer, are now so close to securing back-to-back promotions.

Reynolds' Wrexham, who are four points behind league leaders Stockport County and they have played a game more, next host in-form and play-off chasing Crawley Town at the Racecourse on Tuesday evening.
