    Wrexham needed just 18 minutes to take the lead in the FA Cup fourth round tie against Championship opponents Blackburn. The midfielder ran onto a Sam Dalby pass, took a touch, and rifled the ball into the bottom corner from just inside the box, to give the League Two side a shock lead.

    The winner of Wrexham's clash with Blackburn will take on Newcastle in a money-spinning fifth round tie. Of course, one may not view Phil Parkinson's side as complete underdogs given the investment of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney but a win over Rovers would mark a major step forward in their journey.
