Wrexham’s Paul Mullin Becomes 2022-23 FA Cup Top Scorer as Manchester City Beat Manchester United in the Final at Wembley

It was the first ever Manchester Derby in the final of FA Cup history. The rivalry between the two is well known, and the first-ever final in the FA Cup lived up to its expectations. Manchester City is chasing the treble and beat United 2-1 at Wembley.

Meanwhile, a host of superstars weren’t able to outscore a striker from the National League in the world’s oldest soccer competition. Wrexham’s Paul Mullin ended on the top of the goalscoring list in the FA Cup.

It sounds surprising, but Super Mullin did it. He outscored the likes of Erling Haaland and Harry Kane to finish top of the list. The recently concluded FA Cup saw Mullin finishing as a top scorer in the oldest soccer competition. Wrexham superstar notched nine goals from five appearances that saw the club reaching the fourth round.

The world’s third-oldest soccer club punched above its weight, with Paul Mullin playing a crucial role. Manchester City’s Riyad Mahrez was the only threat to outscore Mullin in the competition. But he needed to score four goals against Manchester United in the final at Wembley. It was a next-to-difficult task, and Pep Guardiola snubbing him from the starting lineup made it possible for Mullin to finish the top-scorer.

Mullin opened his account against Oldham Athletic by scoring a brace in the first round. He kept his form in the second round, where he scored a hat-trick against Farnborough. He scored a goal each in the next three games against second-division sides: Coventry City and Sheffield United. However, a loss away from home in the fourth-round replay saw Wrexham bowing out of the FA Cup.

Another star who showed up for Wrexham in the FA Cup was Sam Dalby. He finished the FA Cup with four assists. He could have ended at the top, but Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne notched two brilliant assists in the final to draw level with Dalby. Overall, it was a brilliant display from Dalby and Mullin at the FA Cup. They will hope to continue their form in the next season.
