Wrexham’s Paul Mullin Under Fire for Bizarre Moment on the Pitch
Wrexham striker Paul Mullin has sparked controversy after being caught on camera trying to bite Birmingham City’s Alec Cochrane during their League One clash on Monday night.
The incident occurred in the final minutes of the match, with Wrexham trailing 3-1. Mullin collided with Cochrane and, as the defender was trying to get back to his feet, it looked like the 29-year-old forward was trying to bite his calf.
Fans were left stunned by the moment, with many taking to social media to express their shock and disbelief. One fan tweeted: "Seconds away from being the next Suarez," while another added: "Wrexham forward Paul Mullin went to bite Alex Cochrane’s leg!"
Mullin has since responded to the incident, claiming that it didn’t happen and that the footage is being taken out of context. He took to Twitter to say: "I know what it looks like… but it didn’t happen. Although you can tell his leg was thinking about attacking my mouth."
Wrexham boss Rob McElhenney also jumped to Mullin’s defense, joking about his surprise appearance in the recent Deadpool film, tweeting: " #Welshpool"
Despite the controversy, Wrexham are still enjoying a fantastic start to the season after being promoted from League Two. They currently sit atop the League One table with four wins, one draw, and one loss. However, Birmingham are now just one point behind and have a game in hand, with Charlton Athletic also matching the two sides on points.
Wrexham fans will be hoping that this setback won’t derail their season, and that Mullin will be able to put this bizarre moment behind him and focus on leading his team to promotion.
