Friday 29 March 2024 17:23, UK
Paul Mullin’s brace handed Wrexham a 2-0 win against Mansfield in League Two’s close automatic promotion race.
Mullin gave the Dragons a first-half advantage and grabbed his second from the penalty spot after the break as Phil Parkinson's side narrowed their gap to the summit to a point and drew level with the second-placed Stags.
Elliot Lee's early bicycle kick was claimed by Mansfield's Christy Pym but Andy Cannon's low cross was slotted home by Mullin to put Wrexham ahead after the half-hour.
Mansfield's Aaron Lewis nearly equalised but his 37th-minute effort curled just wide.
After half-time, Arthur Okonkwo saved George Maris's effort as Mansfield sought a leveller.
