Chelsea overcome 10-man Wrexham in extra time of thrilling FA cup tie

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.

The Cae Ras has a storied history in its 162 years, but this was the first time the video assistant referee (VAR) has been in operation in the oldest international ground in world football.

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.
