Second-tier Wrexham beat Nottingham Forest on penalties after a thrilling 3-3 draw, reaching the FA Cup fourth round. 

Wrexham led 3-1 in the second half but conceded two late goals, including a Callum Hudson-Odoi brace. Forest’s struggles continued after Sean Dyche fielded a reserve team.

Wrexham’s Liberato Cacace and Oliver Rathbone scored early goals, but Forest fought back with Igor Jesus and Hudson-Odoi’s late strikes. The match went to penalties, where Okonkwo shone.

Okonkwo’s save secured Wrexham’s first Premier League scalp in 26 years. The win caps a remarkable rise under owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, from non-league to Championship [2].

“Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson praised his team’s resilience: “It was a rollercoaster game. The late goal knocked the stuffing out of us, but we rallied.”
