Wrexham star Paul Mullin offered a hilarious response after he almost bit an opponent during their 3-1 loss to Birmingham City on Monday.<br /><br />Mullin failed to find the target as Jay Stansfield's double inspired the Blues to victory in a match by Tom Brady, who owns a minority stake in Birmingham, and Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney.<br /><br />Manchester United legends Gary Neville and David Beckham were also present at St. Andrew's as guests of Brady on the night.<br /><br />However, Mullin almost grabbed the headlines when he came painfully close to his Luis Suarez moment during the League One clash.<br /><br />The incident occurred in the second half when Birmingham defender Alec Cochrane fell on top of Mullin.<br /><br />The Wrexham star grabbed Cochrane's calf and looked ready to bite.<br /><br />However, Mullin wisely stopped himself before sinking his teeth into his rival.<br /><br />Mullin reacted to the incident in question on social media after the match and posted on X: 'I know what it looks like.. but it didn't happen. Although you can tell his leg was thinking about attacking my mouth.' <br /><br />The incident sparked an all-in fracas from both teams and it forced the referee to dish out five yellow cards as a result, including one to Wrexham's James McClean and Birmingham skipper Krystian Bielik.<br /><br />Bielik would be sent off for a second bookable offense five minutes later, although Wrexham was unable to capitalize on their extra-man advantage.<br /><br />In a post-match interview with Sky Sports, Cochrane described the melee as nothing more than 'handbags'.<br /><br />'I don't know, to be honest,' Cochrane said.<br /><br />'I was just on the floor. Handbags out of nothing. A load of nonsense, really.' <br /><br />Mullin was wise not to press ahead with nibbling at Cochrane given the lengthy suspensions Suarez has copped for three separate biting incidents.<br /><br />The Uruguayan copped a seven-game suspension in 2010 during his Ajax days when he bit PSV's Otman Bakkal.<br /><br />Suarez was back at it just three years later after his teeth latched onto Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic and was suspended by the FA for 10 games.<br /><br />But the former Liverpool sharpshooter received a staggering four-month ban and an additional nine-game international ban when he bit Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the 2014 World Cup.
