"Wrexham had pushed Chelsea all the way and twice led, but George Dobson's 93rd minute red card proved costly, as the Blues eventually got themselves over the line. Chelsea made their man advantage count six minutes into extra-time when Dario Essugo's pinpoint cross was volleyed home by Garnacho."
"The Championship side stunned Chelsea in the 17th minute when Callum Doyle's long punt over the top was collected by Sam Smith, who took a touch before finishing beyond Robert Sanchez, with the Chelsea goalkeeper punished for his moment of hesitation."
"Chelsea found themselves behind once again in the 78th minute when Doyle instinctively flicked Josh Windass' strike at goal past Sanchez. Josh Acheampong provided an almost instant response for Liam Rosenior's side, though, as he rifled the ball into the roof of the net just four minutes after the Blues went behind."
Chelsea advanced to the FA Cup quarter-finals with a 4-2 extra-time victory over Wrexham. The Championship side provided a stern test, twice taking the lead through Sam Smith and Callum Doyle. Chelsea equalized before halftime when Garnacho's shot deflected off Arthur Okonkwo into the net, then Josh Acheampong leveled after Doyle put Wrexham ahead again. The turning point came when George Dobson received a red card in stoppage time for a high challenge on Garnacho. In extra-time, Garnacho and Joao Pedro scored to seal Chelsea's progression, with Wrexham's late goal ruled out for offside.
