Hollywood-backed Wrexham advanced to the FA Cup fifth round for the first time since 1997 with a gritty 1-0 win over Championship rivals Ipswich Town at the Racecourse Ground. Chelsea, meanwhile, cruised to a 4-0 victory against Hull City, showcasing their Premier League dominance.
Wrexham’s Triumph
Josh Windass scored the decisive goal in the 34th minute, tapping in a low cross from Max Cleworth after a swift right-wing move. Wrexham, owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney since 2020, controlled the game efficiently despite Ipswich managing just one shot on target. This marks their deepest run since the 1996-97 quarter-finals, fueling dreams of a Wembley fairy tale.
Chelsea’s Rout
Chelsea overwhelmed Hull with goals from a Neto’s corner own-goal (51′), Estevao (59′), and two Liam Delap assists for Neto (71′). The result highlights Chelsea’s attacking depth in the competition. Both matches, played on February 13, set up intriguing fifth-round draws.
