Paul Mullin's the ultimate poacher! Wrexham's star man helps see off AFC Wimbledon & keep Red Dragons in League Two automatic promotion hunt

It was a Jekyll and Hyde performance from the Red Dragons who were woeful and submissive in the first half but much more brave and imposing in the second period. After failing to register a single shot over the opening 45 minutes, they carved out a few quality chances after the break, culminating in Fletcher's decisive strike before Mullin smashed in the second.Although they were the better team from the start, Wimbledon had a hard time creating chances and were made to pay for their wastefulness when Wrexham came to life. Elliott Lee had the home team's first big chance but his shot was saved by the goalkeeper. It fell to Fletcher, who managed to get free and have another pop but he hit the bar. Wrexham built on their resurgence and, after Wimbledon saw another chance blocked, James McClean broke down the wing and fired a shot towards goal but couldn't beat the goalkeeper. Immediately afterwards, though, the Irish winger sent a corner kick straight to the back post where Fletcher was perfectly placed to knock it in from close range. And just eight minutes later, a McClean cross flew into the Wimbledon box and bounced off Jack Currie before landing perfectly for Mullin to blast in and double their lead.

TELL ME MORE

Wrexham forward Fletcher was a class act throughout. He kept digging in, trying to help create some danger in the second half and always in good positions around Wimbledon's box. It eventually paid off when the ball dropped perfectly to him and he was finally able to break the deadlock and send Wrexham on their way to victory.

THE MVP

Wimbledon forward Josh Davison capitalised on a mistake from Wrexham defender Ben Tozer and had the visitors' best chance of the entire game early in the second half. Wimbledon were on top throughout and desperate to capitalise on their dominance but unfortunately for the visitors, Davison smacked it wide and Wrexham went on to score 15 minutes later - a game-changing miss!

THE BIG LOSER

Wrexham are still two points behind League Two leaders Stockport County, who beat Walsall on the same day. They will attempt to keep the pressure on their rivals when Phil Parkinson's team take on Newport on January 20.
