Paul Mullin's first-half hat-trick helped Wrexham thrash Accrington 4-0 at the Racecourse Ground.

Accrington goalkeeper Radek Vitek kept out Ollie Palmer's low shot but was unable to stop Mullin's header from Ryan Barnett's 17th-minute cross.
Mullin's lob then hit the side-netting but he made no mistake on 25 minutes when firing home clinically from outside the box.
Mullin completed his quickfire hat-trick after meeting Lee's teasing 35th-minute cross.
