But during his celebration, he managed to accidently injure Tunnicliffe.

As McBurnie followed through with his bullet header, he collided into team-mate James McAtee, wiping out the midfielder.

The striker then continued with momentum and crashed into Tunnicliffe.

The centre-back lasted just three more minutes until he had to be subbed off for Max George Cleworth.

Wrexham’s woes then worsened just minutes later as they were forced into another change.

Defender Aaron Hayden had to make way for James Jones, making it two forced substitutions inside 10 minutes.

One half of Wrexham’s Hollywood ownership was in attendance for the cup match.

Movie star Ryan Reynolds joined Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Mark Hughes on BBC 1.

But his business partner Rob McElhenney is still in America, where filming for the 16th series of his show It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has started.

Reynolds said: “I’m standing amongst legends here.

“It has been the greatest experience of my entire life, not withstanding my family.

“It’s going to be multi decade project, and everything it entails is just magic. We wanted to get involved.

“We looked at a bunch of different clubs but Wrexham just spoke to us, the club was already perfect, it just needed a bit of awareness.

“We’re not here to make decisions on the pitch. I look at this place like a church. It’s got a special place in my heart, and it’s spreading across the world.

“The plan is to get to the Premier League, If it’s theoretically possible then why not? That is the goal.

“Realistically the fact that we’re in this church, if I were Sheffield United, I’d be taking this game very seriously.”
