    WHAT HAPPENED?

    The Red Dragons had only just levelled the score-line in the first half, thanks to a well-placed effort from Steven Fletcher after Paul Mullin's lay-off, before their star-man netted the goal of the day.

    Just two minutes after the equaliser, Wrexham were awarded a free-kick from some way out, with Mullin stepping up and lashing his effort into the top corner to give his side the lead.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Wrexham went on to secure the 4-1 win on the afternoon, to open up a four point gap on Barrow in fourth place, thanks to the effort from Mullin and the hat-trick from Fletcher.

    The free-kick arrives just days after Mullin was handed a new long-term deal at the club by Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, which will keep him at the club until 2027.
