MK Dons were 4-1 up with 10 minutes to goRex
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.

Wrexham were without star striker Paul Mullin after the frontman suffered a punctured lung in the club’s 3-1 preseason victory over Manchester United.
