The sublime strike from one Wrexham midfielder left Hollywood actor and Red Dragons chairman Ryan Reynolds awestruck as he took to social media to hail her efforts
Ryan Reynolds showed his admiration for Wrexham Women star Lili Jones as he heralded her sublime lofted effort against Swansea City as one of his all-time 'favourite' goals.
However, Swansea's Ellie Lake had other ideas as she struck in stoppage time to break Wrexham hearts in the 92nd minute of proceedings. Despite the visitors travelling back south with the spoils on the afternoon, however, Dragons co-owner Reynolds appeared pleased with what he had witnessed during the thriller.
Clearly seeing the goal as the standout positive from his team's performance, Reynolds could not resist waxing lyrical about what he had witnessed on Twitter /X. Reacting to a post from the official club account which read 'Utterly sublime from Lili Jones, the world-famous actor reacted: "One of my all time favourite goals at the StōK Cae Ras."
Reflecting on this unique experience previously, she said: "It goes without saying, we’re grateful for . He was full of praise for us. He and Ryan didn’t have to back the women’s side at all. But with them doing it, look where we are now - we’ve gone from paying to play to being paid to play."Jones has become something of a cult figure among Wrexham fans in recent times for her unwavering love for the club that she supported growing up.
