The Vanarama National League, the fifth tier of English soccer, has earned fame majorly for Wrexham AFC, the Welsh club owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. The title race has been a roller coaster ride this season. And the massive episode of the title race concluded on Monday when the heroics of Ben Foster earned Wrexham crucial three points.

It has been a record-breaking season in the National League. Wrexham is now the team with the most points and most goals ever scored in a single season of the league. They still have four games to go, and it will be interesting to see how many points and goals they get to.

Meanwhile, Ryan Reynolds reacted to the fantastic edit of the crucial save made by Foster.

After the game ended, Wrexham fans were all over social media, sharing their excitement. They earned a hard-fought three points, which took them a step closer to the title and the automatic promotion spot. One of the Wrexham fans edited the video of Ben Foster’s penalty, save hours after the game.

The edited video was with the famous Titanic music, and the fan shared it over Twitter, tagging Ryan Reynolds. Reynolds replied to the video, writing, “Bless you,” in response. It was indeed a special game for Reynolds. He traveled with Rob McElhenney to Wales to watch the game.

Wrexham players didn’t disappoint their owners. However, the drama during the game made the owners nervy, as Wrexham conceded a penalty in the dying moments. But their new signing came to the rescue and saved the penalty. Wrexham won the game 3-2 and is top of the table now. 

Reynolds and McElhenney know the club is very close to getting a promotion. Last season the Red Dragons finished second in the table and crashed out of the semifinal of the promotion playoff. The owners can dream of promotion now, with four games to go after getting a crucial win.

The first thing the Red Dragons need to do is win all four games to win the title. Their nearest rivals, Notts County, are three points behind and have three games remaining. If Wrexham wins their next three games, they will win the league and get automatically promoted to League Two.

And if Notts County wins all three games, they will reach 109 points. Ryan Reynolds’ club is on 103 points currently and will get the job done by winning two and drawing one out of their four remaining games. Wrexham has an advantage over Notts County but will hope to get the job done early.
