Wrexham have been crowned champions of the National League courtesy of a 3-1 victory over Boreham Wood, earning promotion to League Two in the process.

Boreham Wood forward Lee Ndlovu stunned the home side with an opening goal in just 43 seconds, but Wrexham were soon back on level terms through Elliot Lee.

A draw would have taken the league title race down to the final day, but Paul Mullin had other ideas as he scored two brilliant individual goals to end Wrexham's 15-year absence from the EFL.

Phil Parkinson's side now have 110 points - seven more than Notts County who have two matches remaining - and they can travel to Torquay United safe in the knowledge that they can now target a further rise up the English pyramid.

In front of a crowd of over 10,000 - the biggest attendance at the Racecourse Ground this season - Wrexham had been expected to cap one of the most memorable seasons in their history in style.

However, in less than a minute, the title-chasers were behind as Ndlovu got in behind the Wrexham defence before lobbing the onrushing Ben Foster.

By the quarter-of-an-hour mark, though, Wrexham had gotten themselves back on level terms through Lee, who were perfectly placed to convert a header at the back post.

Boreham Wood made it to half time by successfully nullifying Mullin, but the visitors were powerless to stop Wrexham's star man from scoring his 37th and 38th league goals of the season.

The strike which put Wrexham in front was sensational, the forward gaining control of the ball in the corner before running to the edge of the area and unleashing an unstoppable shot into the far top corner.

Wrexham's fans have learned in the past not to get ahead of themselves when it comes to their side winning high-profile fixtures, yet they need not have felt as anxious as they were as Mullin sealed the three points and promotion with 19 minutes left.

After using his strength to hold off a Boreham Wood defender, Mullin was left one-on-one with another, eventually moving the ball onto his left foot before drilling an effort into the far corner from just inside the area.

The remainder of the contest felt like a procession, not in keeping with Wrexham's season, but their Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney were grateful that this particular screenplay in front of a growing worldwide audience had an uneventful ending. body check tags ::
