Wrexham needed to get past three opponents just to reach the third round of the cup.

[Sheffield United](https://www.theguardian.com/football/sheffieldunited) succumb to the second wave. While Mullin got to the ball first, Davies pulled out of the contact just in time. Tom O’Connor turns on his heel and gets a shot away, but it rockets over the crossbar. He hooks the ball past Davies and into the back of the net to send the Cae Ras into raptures. 41 min Ollie Palmer cuts in off the left flank and unleashes a shot, but it’s blocked. And the Hollywood owners get a bit of stick in the various comment sections. Dalby crosses to Palmer, who thunders a shot on to the underside of the crossbar. Young steps up to take the corner and whips a delivery to Lee, who nods it down for O’Connor. Norwood has a shot blocked by Tozer, but the ball bobbles back to him and, at the second time of asking, he slots it into the far corner. Mullin has the ball in the back of the net after being teed up by Dalby with a neat cross from the right. [Sheffield United](https://www.theguardian.com/football/sheffieldunited) recycle the ball and Doyle whips a cross into the box from deep. We had a game plan, we worked to it and I think everyone watching would say we deserved to win the game.

Speaking to BBC Sport ahead of the match, pundit Gary Lineker asked Reynolds about his connection with Wrexham locals, to which he replied: “It’s been brilliant. Reynolds and McElhenney took full control of the National League club from the Wrexham Supporters Trust in February 2021, investing £2 million under the terms of the deal.

To concede from one of the last kicks of the game from a set-play is gutting. Paul Mullin thought he was going to be the match winner when he put Wrexham 3-2 ahead late on. Oliver Norwood's effort then made it 2-2 just after the hour, shortly before Daniel Jebbison was sent-off for the visitors.
Sheffield United, second in the Championship and chasing promotion to the Premier League, got off to a dream start with Oli McBurnie's early goal but eventually ...
Egan, though, had other ideas and was on hand to slot home Doyle’s cross unopposed at the far post. The non-League side were in front shortly after the hour, and it was no more than they deserved. The reaction, then, after reorganising, was hugely impressive and it was certainly hard to believe that 71 places separated the sides in the football pyramid. To say the ending was cruel on Wrexham and their outstanding supporters was an understatement. “It meant a lot to the team because they gave everything. And then Egan ripped up the script and, like a good movie villain, celebrated the goal by cupping his ears in front of Wrexham’s crestfallen fans, a smirk etched on his face.

GARY LINEKER'S been to The Racecourse twice before and on his last visit he was mistaken for Garth Crooks by his own boss, Bobby Robson.
“It was the biggest cup upsets and it made it our all-time FA Cup top 10.” Lineker revealed the cause, tweeting a picture of a mobile phone and three laughing emojis alongside the words: “As sabotage goes it was quite amusing.” “We lost the game 1-0 and I never got on so you can’t blame me for that defeat.”

But if it’s theoretically possible to go from fifth division to Premier League, why wouldn’t we do it?” Wrexham beat another second-tier team, Coventry, in the previous round. With 71 places between the teams in English soccer’s pyramid, Wrexham came close to a big upset to add to a long line in its history.
The Welsh had come from behind and thought they had beaten the Blades in front of their co-owner at the Racecourse Ground.
And as things stand, they sit atop the National League, level on points with Notts County but with a game in hand. They will have thought they were good value for the win. Deep into injury time, John Egan latched on to a corner at the back post and bundled in an ugly goal to take the tie to a replay. Phil Parkinson leant back and stared at the heavens. Cue bedlam in the directors' box. To make things worse, key defenders Aaron Hayden and Jordan Tunnicliffe both trudged off injured inside the first 11 minutes of the match.
A late goal from Sheffield United's John Egan put the brakes on a blockbuster win for Wrexham in a 3-3 FA Cup draw at the Racehorse Ground on Sunday.
We limited them to not many chances in open play." "If we just hold on against 10 men then we are through. A late goal from Sheffield United's John Egan put the brakes on a blockbuster win for Wrexham in a 3-3 FA Cup draw at the Racecourse Ground on Sunday.

A Tom O'Connor effort had Wrexham dreaming of the last 16, but their lead was short-lived as Ollie Norwood fired home in the 65th minute to bring the Championship side back level. Call us crazy, but that's what we want to do." We can top up that order again when the first lot of orders come in.” “I’m still no wiser now to this day if that's the right number.

Premier League giants Arsenal and Liverpool have already fallen this season and Wrexham held their own against a side that could be in the top flight come next campaign. In forcing a replay, Phil Parkinson's men now have to travel to Sheffield to play the second leg away from home for a chance to reach the fifth round. A near-capacity crowd plus TV coverage and a host of social media attention related to the game will have put Wrexham on the soccer map a bit more for those previously unfamiliar with them. Sheffield United had other ideas, though, and broke Wrexham hearts five minutes into added time when John Egan equalized for the 10 men to earn a replay at Bramall Lane. Wrexham are by some way the underdogs in this matchup despite enjoying stronger financial backing than most at this level. The Wales-based side play in the National League, which is the fifth tier of professional English soccer, and three levels below the Blades who they have now taken to a replay.

We took the game to Sheffield United, pinned them in for long periods. "Obviously it's a real blow that we haven't got over the line, so it's mixed emotions as you can imagine. Two goals either side of the hour mark, from James Jones and Tom O'Connor, helped Wrexham take the lead after McBurnie's early opener. The non-league hosts came back to lead the game twice and were moments away from a spot in the fifth round only for [a video](https://tinyurl.com/4ywz8hrf) shared by the away side on social media. This is the beautiful game.
The Athletic spent 24 hours in Wrexham, a club transformed under the co-ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
We got to the quarter-finals of that in 1976 and lost to Anderlecht. “That meant a lot to the team. The Sheffield United defender effectively pulled the plug out of the Racecourse Ground stereo, tapping in at the far post from a corner to silence the home support with a 95th-minute goal to make it 3-3. “We were trying to put together a team that could win the league at the first attempt,” Reed explains. I went with my son and we kind of went as fans, sat in the background, with a view to just casting an eye over the team and how the game went.” His involvement at Wrexham as an advisor to the board is intriguing and goes under the radar somewhat in the documentary. “I sat in the stand with Humphrey at Coventry and he had them on his very clever phone where you can get both of them on FaceTime at the same time, and they were just ecstatic,” Les Reed says. “There was one game left once I’d agreed to do what they wanted, and that was Dagenham away,” Reed says. “There’s a place in that story for things like that Coventry game and this Sheffield United game. In The Turf, we’re sort of in the eye of the storm. “Watching that was 100 per cent the catalyst for my interest (in coming here),” he says. It would be fair to say nothing has been the same in Wrexham since.
