- In a classic FA Cup tie, Chelsea Football Club beat 10-man Wrexham AFC 4-2 after extra time to reach the quarter-finals, twice coming from behind at the stadium.
- With Wednesday's trip to Paris St Germain in mind, Chelsea made nine changes, resting players such as Cole Palmer, Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez, while Wrexham AFC's rise from the National League years ago fuels their performance.
- After 18 minutes, Sam Smith latched onto a long Doyle pass and scored, then an own goal off Arthur Okonkwo and Doyle's strike gave Wrexham leads, with extra-time goals settling the tie.
- Wrexham's cup run ended in the last 16 despite a memorable night, with 10,556 attending, including 1,311 Chelsea supporters, after a dramatic extra-time loss.
