In a League Two match against Sutton United, James McClean playfully teased his Wrexham teammate Paul Mullin for an acrobatic interception attempt.
The game, which took place on a Tuesday evening, ended with Wrexham winning 2-1.
Paul Mullin was not only wearing the captain’s armband, but he also delivered a standout performance.
He opened the scoring for Wrexham with an impressive goal in the 14th minute.
Moreover, he demonstrated his commitment to the team by frequently dropping deep to assist his fellow players.
Under coach Phil Parkinson’s leadership, Mullin led by example throughout the match.
In one instance, he was spotted throwing his body into the line of the ball, which led McClean to write “f*cking love the dedication lad” on his Instagram story.
Mullin later reposted the playful teasing from James McClean, appending two laughing emojis to the post.
This lighthearted exchange followed Wrexham’s dramatic victory, secured by an 89th-minute goal from Elliot Lee, which propelled them to the third position in the league standings.
Wrexham is currently riding a seven-match unbeaten streak in all competitions, and Paul Mullin has been instrumental in their success, contributing four goals and an assist in his nine appearances during this campaign.
Looking ahead, Wrexham aims to continue their unbeaten run as they face familiar rivals Notts County in another league fixture scheduled for Saturday.
