Ryan Reynolds got his blockbuster but not the romantic upset that was within Wrexham’s grasp in a thrilling FA Cup tie at the Racecourse Ground. The National League leaders were on the verge of knocking out Sheffield United and reaching the fifth round for the first time in 26 years when John Egan shattered their dreams with a 95th-minute equaliser. A sequel awaits.
Paul Mullin put Phil Parkinson’s team into a 3-2 lead with four minutes of normal time remaining only for the United captain to salvage a draw for the visitors, reduced to 10 men when Daniel Jebbison was sent off, when converting at a corner in stoppage time. Wrexham, under the anxious, watchful eye of their A-list co-owner, deserved far more.
