- Wrexham beat Notts County in promotion clash
- Game created massive buzz on social media
- McElhenney shows off impressive numbers
WHAT HAPPENED? Wrexham moved to the top of the National League after a thrilling 3-2 win over Notts County. Goalkeeper Ben Foster made headlines by saving a 97th-minute penalty, leading to raucous celebrations and co-owner Ryan Reynolds vowing to break his stopper's ribs because he was going to hug him so hard. McElhenney has now boasted on social media that his team's game created more buzz than the Premier League's offering between Liverpool and Arsenal.
WHAT THEY SAID: McElhenney's post showed the Wrexham game had 61,923 total Twitter mentions, compared to 61,795 for the Liverpool vs Arsenal match. The stats also showed that Wrexham came out on top when it came to social media buzz at full-time. Wrexham's announcement had 10.5 million Twitter views, compared to Arsenal's 2.9m and Liverpool's 1.8m.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Wrexham's game was dramatic but there was no shortage of drama at Anfield either. Premier League leaders Arsenal threw away a 2-0 goal lead to draw 2-2 in a game which also saw Mohamed Salah miss a penalty and full-back Andy Robertson elbowed by the assistant referee at half-time after berating the match official.
