Wrexham’s fairy-tale rise through the ranks of English football continued in spectacular fashion as they secured back-to-back promotions with a resounding 6-0 victory over Forest Green Rovers.
The match was a one-sided affair from the start, with Elliot Lee opening the scoring early on. Paul Mullin then took center stage with two goals, while an own goal by Ryan Inniss and strikes from Ryan Barnett and Jack Marriott completed the rout.
The win not only sealed Wrexham’s place in League One next season but also left Forest Green Rovers languishing at the bottom of the table, facing the threat of relegation from the Football League.
Lee’s opening goal came after a chaotic scramble in the box, with Mullin and James McClean combining to set him up. Mullin then added a second before Eoghan O’Connell’s long-range effort took a deflection off Inniss for the third goal.
Barnett and Marriott got in on the act in the second half, with Barnett’s stunning volley and Marriott’s late strike putting the icing on the cake for Wrexham.
The victory set off wild celebrations among the Wrexham faithful, as the club’s Hollywood star owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds watched on with pride. With just one game left in the season, Wrexham are now set to face Stockport County in a top-of-the-table clash that promises to be a fitting end to their remarkable campaign.
