🤯 Madness in Wrexham: underdogs chasing a cup miracle against Chelsea | OneFootball

With PSG, one team has already completely botched their dress rehearsal before next week’s Champions League round of 16, and now Chelsea is in danger of experiencing exactly the same thing. 

In the league, Liam Rosenior’s team is fighting for qualification for the Champions League once again, but right now, there’s an FA Cup match on the agenda. 

Although Chelsea naturally went into the match against second-division side AFC Wrexham as favorites and reaching the quarterfinals is more or less a must, the Premier League club is having major problems and even fell behind.

After a long ball from Wrexham defender Doyle, Smith ran free towards goal and slotted the ball into the bottom left corner – giving the underdogs the lead (18’). 

Before halftime, Chelsea managed to equalize thanks to an own goal by Wrexham keeper Arthur Okonkwo. Of course, there’s still plenty of time for the Champions League participant to turn things around, but we also know that the cup has its own rules. After three consecutive promotions, Wrexham is now working on a miracle in the FA Cup as well.
