Tuesday night’s last-gasp victory from Elliot Lee demonstrated Wrexham’s love of late drama, and Hollywood owner Ryan Reynolds had the ideal reaction.
In Wrexham’s League Two victory over Sutton United on Tuesday, the team provided more late drama, and Ryan Reynolds came up with the ideal reaction.
Since Reynolds and another Hollywood star Rob McElhenney acquired the team in 2021, the Red Dragons have seldom gone down easy, and Tuesday’s victory was the most recent thrilling ending at The Racecourse Ground.
Star striker Paul Mullin gave Wrexham an early lead, but Aiden O’Brien pulled them back on the hour, increasing the chance that Phil Parkinson’s team would drop out of the top three.
However, in the last minute of the 90, Elliot Lee—who has been Wrexham’s hero so often this season—blasted a vicious strike into the back of the net. With his ninth goal of the year, Wrexham’s league winning streak now stands at six games, and they maintain their lead over Stockport County and Notts County.
Wrexham’s comeback to the EFL after a 15-year hiatus has been marked by late goals; in recent weeks, the Red Dragons have climbed the standings thanks to goals from Steven Fletcher’s 95th-minute equalizer against Crewe Alexandra and Jordan Davies’ last-minute winner against Salford City.
The actor playing Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds, rushed to social media to appropriately respond to Tuesday’s exciting conclusion, writing: “Handing out heart attacks since 1864.”
When Welcome To Wrexham’s third series premieres in a year, the late drama will undoubtedly make for exciting watching, but assistant manager Steve Parkin thinks they can’t keep depending on heroics at the end if they want to advance this season.
He told the Wrexham Leader, “I think the boys wanted to do their best but forced things with their football which they didn’t really need to do because the crowd got frustrated.” “We simply had to exercise patience and see the project through to the final conclusion.
These guys are fantastic; they put in a lot of work and are always willing to learn. Ultimately, their small amount of excellence proved to be the undoing of them. Like us, of course, they firmly believe that they should go straight to the 100th minute if needed in the dressing room.
The important thing to remember is that, even if we have relied on it a lot this season, we don’t want to do so in the future. We will accept that because, in the end, there are numerous ways to score three points.
Since Reynolds and the writer of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, McElhenney, acquired the club two years ago, Wrexham has grown to become a global attraction. The FX and Disney+ documentary series have garnered a devoted global following, and Wrexham is expected to win the National League title again this season. They also have a newfound following from last season.
