Ben Foster perfectly caught the moment Wrexham were confirmed as National League champions, and fans rushed onto the pitch, for his latest vlog.

It was an emotional afternoon for everyone connected to Wrexham on Saturday, as they beat Boreham Wood to earn promotion to League Two.

After 15 years of non-league football, the club have been led by Phil Parkinson back to the Football League, thanks in part to the co-ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

The pair were very emotional after the match, being spotted in tears during the celebrations, showing how much they really get the ownership.

Fans also shared their emotions, running onto the pitch at the Racecourse Ground, following the 3-1 win over their opponents, in incredible scenes.

And the moment the final whistle blew and the supporters ran from the stands has been perfectly captured by Foster, who was in goal, as you can see below.

It was nearly a very bad day for the former Premier League goalkeeper, as the away side took the lead inside the opening minute.

Lee Ndlovu scored his 11th goal of the season for the Hertfordshire side, as he lobbed Foster after getting on to a long ball over the top of the hosts' defence.

Elliot Lee equalised in the first half, with a header, before Paul Mullin grabbed two brilliant second half goals to give the Red Dragons all three points.

Despite having only been at the club for eight weeks, it was very clear what the win meant to Foster, who called the side his 'home,' having also been there earlier in his career.

The chances of him staying on for their first season back in League Two also improved, as he agreed a 'verbal contract' after the full time whistle.

Speaking amidst the celebrations, the 40-year-old said, "Seriously, this club, this club is different I promise you. So that meant a lot that did, it’s really special.

"...I don’t think there’s anyone else I would have come to, to be fair. I’ve been here before, I know the club, I know how special it is and I know how much the fans love it. I know what it means to them.

"And like I say, those seven games I’ve just played, my god. Just look at them now, they’re bonkers, the noise they make, incredible."
