  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  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. Even in the 82nd minute, with his team 3-0 up, the forward chased the ball with intent and kept his composure to put the ball into the net in a one-on-one situation with the shot-stopper.

  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."
