It's been quite the week for Mullin, having missed a penalty in the tetchy loss to Accrington last weekend then releasing his brilliant autobiography on Thursday. After a pre-season disrupted by a horror injury, Saturday's haul will boost hopes that Mullin is returning to top form.
WHAT NEXT FOR WREXHAM?
The win sees the Red Dragons leap into the automatic promotion spots, and Wrexham fans had more good news when pace-setters Stockport went down to a surprise defeat at Newport County, cutting the gap at the top to five points. There's little time to celebrate though, as Wrexham prepare for a trip to Harrogate Town on Tuesday night.
