Paul Mullin’s brace sent Wrexham to a dominant 6-0 win over Forest Green Rovers, confirming their promotion to League One.

Further goals from Elliot Lee, Ryan Barnett, Jack Marriot and a Ryan Inniss own goal completed the rout as the Red Dragons earnt a second successive promotion.

Never would Wrexham fans more enjoyed doing some mental maths this week.

Ahead of this weekend’s games, the promotion formula was clear: beat Forest Green and wait on MK Dons and Barrow to fail to win.

Wrexham themselves started slowly, perhaps showing some pre-party nerves.

The opener came through Elliot Lee, one of Wrexham’s brightest stars this season.

A deep Tom O’Connor corner was cleared but only reached Mullins on the edge of the area. The Wrexham top-scorer fired a strike back across goal and Forest Green could not clear their lines before Lee poked home for his 16^th league goal of the season.

It would only take six minutes before Paul Mullin got himself on the scoresheet, with Lee heavily involved again.

Lee drove forward down the left, before feeding James McClean into space. He dinked a delightful ball to the back post, where Mullin headed past Vicente Reyes unmarked inside the six yard box.

After a succession of Wrexham crosses and long balls where dealt with comfortably by the visitors, Forest Green will have been disappointed with the way they failed to clear their lines.

Forest Green had a response of sorts through yellow cards for Charlie McCann and Emmanuel Osadebe.

Then the afternoon really turned Wrexham’s way.

On the half-hour mark, as Mansfield equalised at MK Dons, Eoghan O’Connell’s shot from a cut back took two deflections before finding the net. Ryan Inniss the unfortunate scorer of the own goal.

Soon enough, Mullin had his brace through yet another deflection.

Another O’Connor corner was cleared to Mullin, who shot first time just inside the box. The ball took a wicked deflection, sending Reyes the wrong way in the Forest Green net.

As it stood, Wrexham would be going up and didn’t the 11,450 home fans know it. The SToK Cae Ras was bouncing at halftime and chants of “we are going up” could be heard for miles around.

While Wrexham started the second half slowly, cheers went round the ground when Mansfield turned it around to lead 2-1 at MK Dons.

Moments after they finished cheering Mansfield’s goal, Wrexham had scored a fifth.

Ryan Barnett, who scored his first for the club on Tuesday, got himself amongst the goals as he volleyed a McClean cross back the way it came and into the visitors’ net.

Wrexham have the best home record in League Two and the result today was never in doubt.

McClean, excellent all afternoon, bustled down the left once again and fed Jack Marriot for his first Wrexham goal on a historic afternoon for him and the club.

Two late Mansfield goals confirmed the inevitable as Wrexham fans stormed onto the pitch to embrace their heroes.
