It was the first ever Manchester Derby in the final of FA Cup history. The rivalry between the two is well known, and the first-ever final in the FA Cup lived up to its expectations. Manchester City is chasing the treble and beat United 2-1 at Wembley.

Meanwhile, a host of superstars weren’t able to outscore a striker from the National League in the world’s oldest soccer competition. Wrexham’s Paul Mullin ended on the top of the goalscoring list in the FA Cup.

Wrexham AFC’s Paul Mullin outscores Premier League superstars

It sounds surprising, but Super Mullin did it. He outscored the likes of Erling Haaland and Harry Kane to finish top of the list. The recently concluded FA Cup saw Mullin finishing as a top scorer in the oldest soccer competition. Wrexham superstar notched nine goals from five appearances that saw the club reaching the fourth round.

The world’s third-oldest soccer club punched above its weight, with Paul Mullin playing a crucial role. Manchester City’s Riyad Mahrez was the only threat to outscore Mullin in the competition. But he needed to score four goals against Manchester United in the final at Wembley. It was a next-to-difficult task, and Pep Guardiola snubbing him from the starting lineup made it possible for Mullin to finish the top-scorer.
