Ryan Reynolds believes the fact only one club is automatically promoted from the National League is "insane". 

Wrexham co-owner Reynolds saw his side take a massive step towards the Football League by beating Notts County 3-2 in an Easter Monday classic at the Racecourse Ground. 

They need seven points from their final four games to clinch the title and finally see off County in a remarkable season in which both clubs have reached 100 points.

Yet only the champions are automatically promoted, with the runners-up joining five other teams in the play-offs. 

Speaking to BT Sport, Hollywood star Reynolds said: "It's just insane to me in this league that only one goes up automatically. 

"If it were different — and I think it should be — both of these clubs would be celebrating together right now. 

"What they've done is not only create drama unlike anything you'd ever see in a damn movie, but something I think people will be talking about for ages. 

"The fact this much attention has come upon the National League in this way is incredibly special and immensely worthy of the talents of not only Wrexham but Notts County as well."

Wrexham are now three points clear of the Magpies with a game in hand. 

They took control of the title race in dramatic fashion after falling behind to John Bostock's free-kick just before half-time. 

Paul Mullin and Jacob Mendy fired the hosts into a 2-1 lead with 20 minutes remaining before Kyle Cameron headed the visitors level. 

Elliot Lee restored the advantage but Wrexham were indebted to ex-England keeper Ben Foster for saving Cedwyn Scott's penalty in stoppage time. 

Reynolds, 46, added: "It's troubling how hooked I am. I don't know how to quantify what just happened.

"But also what makes it so special is how powerful and unique Notts County is. There's a real story here. 

"I have enormous respect for what they've built and everything they've done. It was a pressure cooker coming into this for both teams. 

"What both have achieved is historic. I don't think I've seen anything quite like that."
