    How Wrexham got here

    Wrexham beat Premier League opposition in the third round of the tournament, beating Nottingham Forest on penalties after a dramatic 3-3 draw. They then beat Ipswich Town 1-0 to punch their ticket into the fifth round; Chelsea have downed both Charlton Athletic and Hull City so far, doing so 5-1 and 4-0 respectively.

    The Welsh club have not reached the fifth round since 1997 but manager Phil Parkinson is looking ahead, rather than back. 

    He told reporters after the win over Ipswich: "We spoke before the game about our chance to create a bit of history. We've done it, and I'm so pleased because it was always going to be a tough game against a very good side.

    "This season, with the challenge of being in the Championship and now an FA Cup run, we want to enjoy it, and tonight we certainly did."

    He added: "I think it's great for our owners, to get them into the fifth round.

    "We can really look forward to the draw on Monday night when we'll be in a hotel in Bristol. We'll savor that but, obviously, it's the back burner now for the FA Cup, and we'll concentrate on the league."

  • Chelsea also eyeing glory

    Rosenior will hope to win his first trophy with the Blues this season, and he hailed his side's application in their 4-0 win over Hull - a repeat would go down very well with the ex-Strasbourg boss.

    He said after the game: "I was delighted with the players' application and attitude in the first half. It was a difficult game. All credit to Hull, they are flying high in the Championship. I do hope they make the Premier League this year, but because of our attitude and application to the game, the quality is always there, that is what gave us the platform tonight.

    "We've had some good 90 minutes. Obviously, you want every minute of every game you want to be perfect.

    "There are a lot of things we can improve, but in terms of our start together, I am delighted with it. Pedro Neto has been outstanding, he works so hard and he has so much quality.

    "I am delighted to see him get the goals he got today. Everyone worked really, really hard for each other.

    "The most pleasing aspect was the mentality. They were a credit to the club. It was a really strong performance in terms of the mental application you need to be successful."
