Peterborough stars brutally trolled Ryan Reynolds & Co with "Bye Bye Bye" Deadpool song after ousting them from the Football League Trophy at Wembley.
Wrexham appeared to be heading to the final of the EFL Trophy, boasting a comfortable 2-0 lead against Peterborough. However, their advantage slipped away in the dying moments of the match when they conceded a stoppage-time equaliser, forcing the game into penalties. Paul Mullin and Elliot Lee both missed from the spot, handing Peterborough a spot in the final and the opportunity to defend their EFL Trophy crown.
