Wrexham and Sheffield United ended Sunday’s game on a 3-3 draw after a late goal from Sheffield’s John Egan at the Racecourse Ground on Sunday.
A 95th-minute goal from Egan from a corner was all it took to put a pause on Wrexham from advancing to the fifth round of the FA cup.
The game however will not be replayed as such despite the use of the term “replay.” In England, specifically in cup competitions, a replay refers to a second match at the home venue of the team that played on the road in the first game which ended in a draw. There is no third game as an even score will be decided beyond 90 minutes in that second fixture.
Anything below League Two, which is the fourth tier of the English game, is traditionally considered “non-league,” and Wrexham is the latest club of that standing to threaten a major upset.
Wrexham is owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, and their takeover of the 158 years old club in 2020 has been marred with controversy
