FA CUP : WREXHAM VS NOTTINGHAM FOREST – 09/01/2026 (PHOTO – ARTHUR OKONKWO SAVES DECIDING PENALTY FOR WREXHAM)

WREXHAM CERTAINLY HAD A GOOD DAY AT THE OFFICE YESTERDAY, AFTER BEATING NOTTINGHAM FOREST IN THE 3RD ROUND OF THE FA CUP ON PENALTIES! WHAT AN EXCITING MATCH THIS WAS! WREXHAM HAD 14 SHOTS, WITH 6 ON-TARGET, INCLUDING CRACKERS FROM LIBERATO CACACE AT 37 MINS., AND OLIVER RATHBONE AT 40 MINS., SO THEY WERE 2 GOALS UP BY HALF-TIME! NOTTINGHAM FOREST, HAD 24 SHOTS, WITH 10 ON-TARGET, (AND 61% POSSESSION) AND DID, INDEED, COME OUT FIGHTING AFTER HALF-TIME, WITH A CRACKING GOAL FROM IGOR JESUS 64 MINS! BUT THEN IT WAS BACK OVER TO WREXHAM’S DOMINIC HYAM TO SCORE A BEAUT AT 74 MINS., AND THEN AGAIN, BACK OVER TO NOTTINGHAM FOREST’S CALLUM HUDSON-ODOI TO SCORE AN ENERGETIC AND VERY DETERMINED BRACE AT 76 MINS., AND 89 MINS. RESPECTIVELY, WHICH HAD EVENED THINGS UP BY THE 90TH MINUTE! ALL IN FRONT OF A DELIGHTED RYAN REYNOLDS (THE HOLLYWODD OWNER OF WREXHAM) WHO HAD CHANGED INTO SEVERAL ‘LUCKY TOPS’ ALONG THE WAY (WHICH MUST HAVE HAD HIS STYLIST IN QUITE THE SPIN!😊)
