In a dominant display against John Coleman's side, the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/paul-mullin-wrexham-hat-trick-accrington-stanley/blta2bb6930ba1658d9#csb463405feb8c4c5b" target="_blank">Red Dragons surged to a commanding four-goal lead in the first half.</a> Mullin ignited the scoring spree after just 17 minutes, heading home Ryan Barnett's precise cross. Not content with one goal, Mullin swiftly added a second, expertly slotting the ball into the corner of the net and then scored another in just 35 minutes to effectively seal the victory for the Red Dragons.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Mullin would be relieved to get back his scoring boots as the striker was going through a rough patch. He went seven games without finding the net and had to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-rivals-warned-more-come-paul-mullin-james-mcclean-red-dragons-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-host-promotion-party/blt6064f5f82a2be323">make peace with filling a support role</a> for Phil Parkinson.

WHAT MCELHENNEY SAID

Mullin's hat-trick took his goals tally to 16 across competitions this campaign. Manager Phil Parkinson will undoubtedly be pleased with Mullin's performance as it propelled the team to their first win in four games, reigniting promotion aspirations. Currently positioned third in League Two, the Red Dragons trail league leaders Mansfield Town by just three points, although Nigel Clough's side holds a game in hand. Wrexham's upcoming challenge sees them face Morecambe next Saturday.
