Wrexham 2-4 Chelsea: VAR brings cruel dose of reality to Championship side


There is an irony that the club that welcomed the cameras to Wrexham was denied by them. As film star owners watched on, it was a video screen that brought a cruel dose of reality to a fantastic FA Cup tie and ensured Chelsea avoided a humbling fifth-round exit. Its first scene was to turn George Dobson's card from a yellow into a red, leaving the Championship hosts with 10 men and Chelsea off the hook going into extra time. Its second was to rule out a Wrexham equaliser that would have taken the game to penalties, Lewis Brunt inches offside as he connected with Kieffer Moore's header on the line. "It was our first experience of it and hopefully it's our last until next season."
