Wrexham have enjoyed a meteoric rise on and off the pitch since Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney completed their takeover of the club in February 2021. After languishing in Non-League for 15 years, the North Wales outfit became the first team in English football history to achieve three successive promotions and are now challenging at the top end of the Championship.

"The proudest thing I hear now is, 'I wish our club was like Wrexham'. Wrexham didn't exist in that format until Rob and Ryan took over."

Wrexham had not been at the races first half, but they levelled two minutes after the restart as Josh Windass curled home a beauty from 20 yards.

Hull took advantage of an FA Cup hangover for Wrexham to strengthen their grip on a Championship playoff place with a 2-1 win in north Wales that put them six points clear of the Red Dragons. The battle between fifth and sixth in the table was decided by goals from two of Hull's loanees -- Leeds' Joe Gelhardt and Liverpool's Lewis Koumas.

Luton Town want to sign Elliot Lee from Wrexham in the January transfer window, according to Sports Boom . The former West Ham United attacking midfielder was on the books of Luton from 2017 until 2022, before he moved to the Welsh club. Lee underwent knee surgery earlier in the campaign and has failed to establish himself in Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson's team. The 31-year-old has made three appearances in the Carabao Cup for the Welsh outfit so far this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist in the process.

Never, ever, ever count out Wrexham

Anis Ben Slimane gave Norwich a ninth-minute lead before the in-form Sam Smith restored parity before the break. Jovon Makama struck after 58 minutes to take his Championship goals tally into double figures and end Wrexham's 10-game unbeaten home league run that stretched back to Sept. 13. Norwich remain in the relegation zone despite an upturn in results since Philippe Clement succeeded the sacked Liam Manning in November, but are within a point of Blackburn and Portsmouth in 22nd.

In front of co-owner Ryan Reynolds, the Red Dragons' class of 2025-26 etched themselves into cup folklore by taking a top-flight scalp at the Stok Cae Ras on penalties - and with drama befitting their modern-day Hollywood association. Twice they were two goals clear against last year's semi-finalists before being dragged, exhausted, into extra time, where they produced a dramatic climax.
