Chelsea secured a 4-2 victory over Wrexham in a thrilling FA Cup fifth-round match at the Racecourse Ground, booking their place in the quarter-finals. The Premier League side overcame a spirited Championship team after falling behind twice, with substitute Joao Pedro scoring the decisive goal in extra-time.

Wrexham's hopes of a famous upset were dashed by VAR, which ruled out Lewis Brunt's 114th-minute equalizer for offside. The drama continued when George Dobson received a red card after an initial yellow card was upgraded following VAR review. Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson expressed frustration with the decision, arguing the contact on Dobson's challenge was minimal.

Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior made nine changes to his lineup, acknowledging the team's disjointed performance but emphasizing the importance of squad rotation. The win continues Chelsea's FA Cup campaign despite a lackluster display, while Wrexham can take pride in their competitive showing against Premier League opposition.
