New eligible Nigerian goalkeeper hits double figures for clean sheets

Stephen Oladehinde 18:00 - 03.03.2024

Arsenal-owned shot-stopper Arthur Okonkwo showcased his prowess once again between the sticks as Wrexham secured a dominant 4-0 win against Accrington Stanley at the Racecourse ground this Saturday afternoon.

Okonkwo's Goal Remains Untouched

It was a comfortable afternoon for Okonkwo whose goal was rarely threatened by the opponent who recorded just three shots on target all game.

Despite Accrington Stanley's efforts, they struggled to breach Okonkwo's defences, with the goalkeeper only called into action a few times throughout the match.

Cody Adedoyin forced the Super Eagles-eligible goalkeeper to his first save of the game from an angled strike.

He saved another effort from Tommy Leigh and did well yet again to deal with Connor O'Brien after the hour mark.

Having failed to concede in the game, he has now kept 10 clean sheets in the EFL League Two this season in 25 appearances but it was his 12th across all competitions.

Mullin's Masterclass Leads Wrexham Charge

Paul Mullin opened the scoring in the 17th minute with a precise header and would double the lead eight minutes later, unleashing a shot into the bottom corner. 

Mullin would score another in the 35th minute, heading the ball home from an Elliot Lee's cross to bag his hat-trick and both combined once again for the fourth goal with the former cutting the ball into the path of the latter," reports our correspondent from the field.

Mullin's spectacular hat-trick not only showcased his brilliance but also highlighted the exceptional teamwork within the Wrexham squad.
