The 'Welcome to Wrexham' writers have really outdone themselves

The next season of "Welcome to Wrexham" looks like it's going to be a doozy.

The latest plot twist (spoiler alert!) involves a 40-year-old goalkeeper coming out of retirement to make a heroic penalty save in the last second of the biggest game of the season.

A little cliché, we know, but sometimes you can't beat a classic.

Wrexham was tied with Notts County atop the National League table entering Monday's showdown at Racecourse Ground. The game had all the makings of a promotion-decider, with only the first-place finisher gaining automatic passage to League Two for next season.

Notts County took the lead on the stroke of halftime, but a wild second half saw Wrexham emerge with a 3-2 lead as the game entered stoppage time.

The visitors were given a chance to level with the last kick of the match, but Ben Foster, a former England international who only came out of retirement last month, stepped up to deliver the save of the season — and a play that could ensure Wrexham's promotion.

Wrexham won 3-2 and now have a three-point lead over Notts County with a game in hand, and just four games left to play.

The Welsh club's incredible rise under owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney shows no sign of slowing down. You could barely script it.

Ryan Reynolds basks in glory of big win

Ryan Reynolds punched the air before turning to embrace Rob McElhenney as Wrexham moved a big step closer to their dream of leading the Welsh soccer team to promotion.

“I don’t think I have a heart anymore,” Reynolds said afterward. “I think I used all the beats I had left during that match. That was unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.

“When I get my hands on Ben Foster he’s going to be on the injured reserve list because I’m going to break ribs. I’m going to hug him so hard."
