Wrexham's FA Cup dreams ended with a 4-2 extra-time defeat to FIFA Club World Cup winners Chelsea after midfielder George Dobson received a red card in the 90th minute. Despite twice taking the lead at Stok Cae Ras, the EFL Championship side couldn't overcome the setback, exiting the competition in the fifth round.

Manager Phil Parkinson expressed disappointment with VAR decisions, particularly the red card and a disallowed goal from Lewis Brunt that were both reviewed. Co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, who have overseen three straight promotions since taking charge, voiced frustration with the video assistant referee system.

The loss hasn't dampened Wrexham's ambition, with Parkinson stating his aim is to make games against Premier League clubs a regular occurrence. Reynolds emphasized the Premier League has been the target since day one, acknowledging the significant financial gap between England's top flight and where Wrexham currently stands in the Championship.
