Wrexham claimed all three points on Saturday afternoon, coming from a goal down to beat Colchester United away from home.
Phil Parkinson’s men needed a reaction after losing 1-0 at Doncaster Rovers in midweek.
Another away trip won’t have thrilled Wrexham fans, who have seen a fair few drab affairs on the road this season.
When John Akinde fired Colchester ahead in the second half, Wrexham fans may have felt a sinking feeling.
There was a big response to come though as Paul Mullin headed home Ryan Barnett’s cross to bring Wrexham level.
With time ticking away, Wrexham found the winner as Max Cleworth rose highest to nod home George Evans’ long throw into the box.
That was a huge win and brings the finishing line closer and closer as Wrexham chase promotion to League One.
Ryan Reynolds reacts to Wrexham win
Wrexham have become headline news around the world in recent years and many rival fans would love to see Wrexham fail.
The publicity which has followed the arrival of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney as co-owners is something that few clubs will ever experience.
Wrexham’s rise could soon take another step forward if promotion can be secured and Reynolds has taken to social media to react to Saturday’s draw in Essex.
Reynolds posted a list on his Instagram story, ticking off a comeback victory, Mullin’s 100th goal for Wrexham and Cleworth’s first ever league goal.
Reynolds also ticked off ‘life-threatening tension’ and ‘gut-wrenching suspense’, adding that this is just another ‘bonkers’ Wrexham season.
Rob McElhenney on Paul Mullin goal
McElhenney has now offered a message too and centred it around Mullin’s 100th goal for Wrexham.
Mullin has been the talisman, the poster boy of this Wrexham rise and everybody has loved watching him on ‘Welcome to Wrexham’.
That show offered an insight into Mullin’s personal life and his son Albi’s autism diagnosis.
Mullin celebrates by making an ‘A’ with his hands and McElhenney posted that Mullin’s record and celebration is ‘all for Albi’.
That connection to the person as well as the player has made Mullin an even bigger hero at the STōK Cae Ras.
Now with a century of goals to his name in a Wrexham shirt, Mullin will be hoping to add a few more and push Wrexham over the line in the coming weeks.
