Chelsea narrowly avoided a major upset in their FA Cup fifth round tie with Wrexham, requiring extra time to beat their Championship hosts 4–2 in an enthralling tie.
Wrexham’s celebrity co-owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, watched on from the stands of the STōK Cae Ras and celebrated wildly as Sam Smith opened the scoring for the hosts with a composed finish, but an unfortunate own goal from goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo brought Chelsea level just before the half-time whistle.
