  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Okonkwo had a moment to forget during Wrexham's FA Cup tie with Blackburn. The goalkeeper came racing out of his penalty area but sold himself short, allowing Sam Gallagher to calmly stroke the ball home and put his side 2-1 up in the tie, having previously cancelled out Andy Cannon's brilliant opener.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Wrexham had enjoyed a dream start as Andy Cannon fired the visitors into a shock lead. However, Sammie Szmodics levelled before Okonkwo's error saw Blackburn go ahead. Szmodics then struck again just before half-time to give the visitors a mountain to climb.
