    The English striker recently scored his 100th goal for the club in the 2-1 win against Colchester to seal an important three points for his side who are seeking back-to-back promotions. He followed it up with another brace against Crawley Town to reach 23 goals in 40 appearances across competitions.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Mullin's second goal stemmed from a defensive mistake from a Crawley defender after a half-baked back pass to his goalkeeper was cut short by the striker. Even in the 82nd minute, with his team 3-0 up, the forward chased the ball with intent and kept his composure to put the ball into the net in a one-on-one situation with the shot-stopper.

  • WHAT MCELHENNEY SAID

    The Hollywood actor was impressed with Mullin's perseverance and picked the strike against Crawley as his favourite among the 102-odd goals.

    He wrote: "This may be my favourite goal of his. Not a game-winner or anything fancy. Just perseverance, hustle and grit. @PMullin7 knows the people in that stadium didn’t pay their hard-earned wage to watch guys give 95%. They deserve 100% and he gives it to them ALL. THE. TIME."

    WHAT NEXT FOR MULLIN?

    Mullin will look to add to his ever-increasing goal tally when Wrexham host Forest Green Rovers at STok Cae Ras on Saturday afternoon. The Red Dragons could seal promotion to League One if they win this weekend and both Barrow and MK Dons fail to do so.
