![]() United’s captain on the night walked off in front of Erik ten Hag, the manager on a watching brief detail only before Thursday’s meeting with Real Madrid in Houston.Įmotion swept through the ranks of Binnion’s starlets as Álvaro Fernández joined Bishop in the book for another roughhouse challenge. They were also a 10-man proposition less than two minutes into the second half after Dan Gore scythed down Andy Cannon and the referee, Mark Allatin, deemed it a sending-off offence. Yet it is now because, as the unfortunate Mullin said in the buildup, “nothing surprises us”.Īgainst all of this United were a junior side apart from the veteran Johnny Evans, who was jittery despite a pedigree of three league titles claimed during his first, 11-year spell at the club. None of this should be normal for a club formed in Wrexham’s Turf Hotel. ![]() The increased recognition has propelled Parkinson and his squad to a point where they found themselves listening to a rendition of The Star Spangled Banner while witnessing a fighter jet flyover as the anthem hit the climatic line of “O’er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave”.

This was a test for Travis Binnion’s youngsters from United’s academy and a riposte from Wrexham to Mullin’s demise, after the feelgood ambience before kick-off in the Californian sun for this third fixture of the Welsh side’s first US summer tour.Įach of the Wrexham goals was met with a salvo of fireworks and United received the same treatment on the stroke of half-time, when the right-back, Marco Jurado, volleyed past Ben Foster. It arrived again from route one approach play and again from Wrexham’s right: Will Fish was transfixed by the ball as it dipped in from Ben Tozer’s throw-in, Max Cleworth flicked on and Aaron Hayden, at close range, beat Bishop. The crowd adored the first goal – and they did the next one, too. First, Liam McAlinden’s delivery from the right was watched by a rearguard that included the rooted Bishop, and Elliot Lee ghosted in for a smash-and-grab opener. He and his defence would want to custard pie themselves due to how they allowed Wrexham to score their first two goals. ![]() Having been shown a yellow card (the first of a total of four in the match), the 23-year-old was booed and jeers subsequently studded every touch of the ball of the former Southend keeper. ![]() Seven minutes passed before Mullin, still breathing via the mask, was able to stagger off, and a night that began as the latest chapter in the fairytale story of Wrexham under their Hollywood A-lister owners, Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, curdled for Mullin, who reportedly suffered a punctured lung.īishop’s evening, too, took an unwanted turn. The Wrexham forward required treatment that included receiving oxygen.
