The three points secured in the match mean that the Red Dragons have gained automatic promotion from the National League to League Two.

There were tears of joy among fans and owners as the club returned to the Football League for the first time in 15 years.

The club was bought by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in November 2020.

Reynolds said he was "a little speechless" following the results of the game, while McElhenney said the whole experience had been the "honour" of his life.

Speaking to BT Sport about the club, McElhenney said: "One thing that's running through my head over and over again is people said at the beginning: 'why Wrexham, why Wrexham?' this is exactly why Wrexham.

"What's happening right now is why."
