RYAN REYNOLDS could end up having a Puskas winner on his books after Paul Mullin netted a sublime solo goal for Wrexham. The stunner came in the Welsh side’s 2-1 win over League One rivals Blackpool on Boxing Day. Ashley Fletcher had given Steve Bruce’s men an early lead with a third-minute opener.

But Mullin ensured Wrexham fired back in style with a mouth-watering finish for just his second goal of the season. Despite the Racecourse Ground being shrouded in mist, the 30-year-old striker managed to pluck the ball from the air while being outside Blackpool’s box.

Mullin used one touch of his thigh to control the football while driving into the edge of the penalty area. And despite his body being side-on to the goal, Mullin did not let the ball bounce even once as he unleashed a screamer of a shot. The football flashed diagonally across the box into the top corner of Blackpool’s goal.

And the strike sparked wild celebrations among the Wrexham faithful, who saw their side go on to clinch victory through Steven Fletcher’s 88th minute penalty. One fan said: “Do they do Puskas awards for League One?”. FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS.

Another declared: “F*****g Welshpool.”. One noted: “Goal of the season… absolute tekkers.”. Another added: “Scores goals of top quality over and over.”. Wrexham owners Reynolds and Rob McElhenney will be keeping their fingers crossed that Mullin’s effort is eventually recognised for the coveted Puskas award.
