Wrexham champions

Their 3-1 win over Boreham Wood sparked a mass pitch invasion, with the club's owners - Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney - tearfully hugging in the stands.

Glorious scenes after the match

Manager Phil Parkinson led the chanting of 'We Are Going Up' from the stands.

Fans went onto the pitch with red flares at the final whistle and the rain-sodden trophy presentation had to be delayed as fans were requested to leave the field.

Check out the video below showing some of those incredible scenes. One fan commented: "What an incredible moment and what an incredible journey the team has taken us all on. Thank you, Liam, for transporting me from the tip of Africa into the Racecourse grounds. Up the Reds. Up the Town. EFL, here we come!"

A Hollywood story.

Since relegation from League Two, the club has endured some terrible teams. They suffered play-off disappointment five times and were on the brink of going out of business.

However, since Deadpool star Reynolds and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator McElhenney took over in early 2021, the club has been transformed.

With the Disney+ documentary Welcome to Wrexham, interest in the club has grown globally and coincided with an epic National League title race. It will be interesting to see where they go from here. If the owners stay this involved, it would take a brave man to bet against another promotion over the next few years.

More reaction from across the football world

Liam, a Notts County fan, was disappointed with missing out on the title but praised Wrexham: "Congratulations on winning the title Wrexham. We pushed you all the way, but fine margins decided it. We just need to focus on winning the playoffs now and hopefully see you next season to do it all again!"

Jacob, a Wrexham fan, added: "Mullins goals were fantastic, well worthy of crowning my team as the champions. I sincerely hope Notts County go up via playoffs though, to get over 100 points is amazing. They deserve it!"

Philip spoke about the benefits of the team being promoted and doing so well. He told us: "What a day watching the new National League champions. The celebrations and the sense of community, spirit and love of the game were great to see. This is what football is about, not sadly what the Premier League is about anymore."

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
