"Sam Smith gave Wrexham an 18th-minute lead, and it was not until an unfortunate own goal from Arthur Okonkwo 22 minutes later that Chelsea levelled. Callum Doyle seemingly had Wrexham on the cusp of the quarter-finals when the restored their lead 12 minutes from the end of normal time, only for Josh Acheampong to reply almost instanteously at the other end."
"The game was turned heavily in Chelsea's favour in stoppage time when George Dobson was sent off for a foul on Alejandro Garnacho, who then put Chelsea ahead in extra time as the extra man told. Wrexham looked to have forced penalties when Lewis Brunt turned home at the far post with six minutes left in extra time, only for his close-range effort to be ruled out for offside."
"Liam Rosenior made nine changes from the side that claimed a hugely impressive 4-1 Premier League win at Aston Villa on Wednesday, and for long periods it looked as if that decision would backfire."
Chelsea advanced to the FA Cup quarter-finals with a 4-2 victory over Championship side Wrexham at The Racecourse Ground. Manager Liam Rosenior made nine changes from Chelsea's midweek Premier League win, and the decision initially appeared costly as Wrexham took an early lead through Sam Smith. Chelsea equalized via an own goal from Arthur Okonkwo, but Wrexham restored their advantage through Callum Doyle. Josh Acheampong leveled for Chelsea, and the match was decided when George Dobson's red card gave Chelsea a numerical advantage in extra time. Alejandro Garnacho scored to put Chelsea ahead, and despite Lewis Brunt's disallowed goal for offside, Joao Pedro sealed the victory in the final seconds.
