WREXHAM were battered in front of Hollywood royalty by MK Dons in an exciting EIGHT-GOAL thriller in North Wales.

It was a brutal return to the Football League as The Dons delivered a crushing defeat in a 5-3 encounter at the Racecourse Ground.

Hollywood legend Hugh Jackman was in attendance as the Dragons lost their first game back in the EFL after a 15-year hiatus.

Before the match got underway, co-owner Rob McElhenney posted a photo of himself with the Wolverine actor.

Despite the glitzy guests, the game quickly turned into a disaster.

MK Dons went 1-0 in the sixth minute from Eoghan O’Connell’s own goal.

And just four minutes later MK Dons were 2-0 up thanks to Mohamed Eisa’s strike.

Wrexham winger Jacob Mendy offered some hope when he notched one home just before half-time in the 42nd minute.

However, those dreams were soon diminished early into the second half, as Jonathan Leko scored two in 13 minutes to make it 4-1 to the visitors.

Wrexham native Jordan Davies offered some consolation when he produced a beautiful strike from the edge of the box eight minutes from time.

MK Dons then made it 5-2 before Anthony Forde hit back a minute later for Wrexham.
