In the wake of Peterborough’s penalty win, Bradley Ihionvien took to Instagram to deliver a playful jab at Reynolds and the Wrexham team. He posted a video of himself dancing to NSYNC’s hit song “Bye Bye Bye” – a tune that famously featured in Reynolds’ recent Deadpool movie – and also inserted an image of Reynolds' Deadpool character in the corner to have fun at the expense of their Hollywood counterparts.
