After a thrilling 10-goal encounter between Wrexham AFC and Swindon Town, Hollywood actor and co-owner of Wrexham AFC, Ryan Reynolds, showed his support for the star player whose goal earned the team a valuable point. Wrexham’s return to EFL League Two hasn’t been an easy journey so far. After a slow start to the season, it took them three matches to secure their first victory against Walsall.

However, the momentum gained from that win didn’t carry over to their recent match against Swindon Town. Despite the lack of consistent success, the match against Swindon Town was a thrilling and action-packed encounter, resulting in a 5-5 draw. Although Wrexham was unable to get a victory, they did manage to earn one point, and the Deadpool star made sure to acknowledge the Wrexham star who made it possible.

Throughout the game, Wrexham found themselves constantly chasing their opponents, with no chance of taking the lead. At halftime, Ryan Reynolds’ side was trailing at 4-1, and the second half only proved to be marginally better, with the Red Dragons still down 3-5 at the 90-minute mark. However, in a moment of magic during injury time, James Jones scored a goal in the 92nd minute, providing a ray of hope for the team.

But it was the 28-year-old Elliot Lee who truly stole the show. Already having scored a penalty earlier in the game, Lee found the back of the net once again in the dying minutes, in the 96th minute to be precise. With a rebound ball, the midfielder slammed it into the back of the net, securing a draw for Wrexham, 5-5.

This crucial goal not only earned the team a valuable point but also elevated the spirits of owner Ryan Reynolds. Reynolds, known for his enthusiastic support of Wrexham AFC and his engagement with the team and its fans, wasted no time in acknowledging the efforts of the players. Shortly after the match, he took to his Instagram story to share a video of Lee’s match-saving goal, expressing his admiration for the player’s exceptional performance.

Despite Elliot Lee’s last-minute goal, the team is currently in 15th place in the league, which constantly threatens their hopes of promotion. However, according to Lee’s recent comments, the team has a positive outlook for the future.
