Paul Mullin claimed a hat-trick as Wrexham swept aside 10-man Solihull Moors at a packed Racecourse Ground.

Wrexham struck three minutes before half-time when Ollie Palmer swivelled to finish with a low drive.

The lead doubled when Palmer turned provider for Mullin to hit the first of his three goals.

Solihull's hopes dipped again when Kyle Storer was sent off for a poor challenge on Luke Young, before Aaron Hayden and Mullin completed the rout.

The attendance of 10,150 was Wrexham's record crowd for the season, while on the pitch Wrexham equalled a club record of 15 home wins in a row in all competitions.

Despite the handsome victory, Wrexham remain second in the National League, four points behind Notts County who also impressed with a 4-1 win over Oldham.

Despite their heavy defeat, Moors remain in the play-off places on goal difference.

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said: "Obviously very please, Solihull are a good side and we saw in the early exchanges how they've got the ability to keep the ball and they can be dangerous.

"We were a bit rusty I felt in the first 25 minutes, the final ball was overhit or not quite right; we've got quite a few players who haven't played for a while but we grew into the game.

"Some of the pressing in the second half was top class and obviously the ruthless edge in front of goal was excellent."
