Mullin's second goal stemmed from a defensive mistake from a Crawley defender after a half-baked back pass to his goalkeeper was cut short by the striker.

WHAT MCELHENNEY SAID
The Hollywood actor was impressed with Mullin's perseverance and picked the strike against Crawley as his favourite among the 102-odd goals.
He wrote: "This may be my favourite goal of his. Not a game-winner or anything fancy. Just perseverance, hustle and grit. @PMullin7 knows the people in that stadium didn’t pay their hard-earned wage to watch guys give 95%. They deserve 100% and he gives it to them ALL. THE. TIME."
