WREXHAM will travel to fellow League Two outfit Mansfield Town in the FA Cup first round.
Ryan Reynolds has perfect reaction to Wrexham’s last-minute comeback against Gary Neville’s Salford
The world-famous Hollywood actor struggled to hide his delight as he waxed lyrical about his valiant Wrexham team as they extended their unbeaten run to down Gary Neville and David Beckham’s Salford
Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds could not contain his glee as his team dramatically snatched victory from the jaws of defeat against Salford City.
The Red Dragons looked almost certain to be heading for a bruising 2-1 loss against their rivals from Greater Manchester as the game ebbed towards stoppage time. However, Phil Parkinson’s men would show they have lost none of last season’s spirit to strike twice late on to grab all three points.
Unsurprisingly, the North Wales outfit’s famously hands-on chairman was among those left in a jubilant mood as they completed a memorable comeback. Following an eventful day at the Racecourse Ground, the Hollywood star took to his social media to speak of his unbridled joy.
It was clear that the ‘Deadpool’ actor shared the elation many supporters inside the stadium would have felt as Wrexham notched a timely winner. In a post on his Instagram Stories page, he posted a snap from the game with the caption: “Apparently you can fit two goals, over 180 heartbeats, and a single 200 decibel scream into a single minute.”
Of course, the world-famous superstar’s words told of a game that proved to be a thriller befitting of a movie script as Wrexham rallied to down their League Two opponents. The away side, who are part-owned by former Manchester United legends Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs and David Beckham, had raced into a two-goal lead in the first half.
However, the Dragons would rally valiantly to reply quickly via Elliot Lee before the break to halve the deficit. From there, though, it looked as though Salford would be heading home with the victory before ex-Premier League mainstay Steven Fletcher equalized in the 87th minute.
