Wrexham's fairytale ride under Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney continued as they knocked Premier League Nottingham Forest out of the FA Cup with a dramatic 4-3 penalty shootout win on Friday.

Arthur Okonko provided heroics worthy of a blockbuster movie with shootout saves from Igor Jesus and Omari after Josh Windass, Callum Doyle, George Thomason and Jay Rodriguez all scored from the spot for Wrexham.

First-half goals from Liberato Cacace and Oliver Rathbone put Wrexham in charge. But Jesus pulled a goal back before Dominic Hyam's diving header restored Wrexham's two-goal lead with 16 minutes left.

But Forest substitute Callum Hudson-Odoi scored two excellent goals including an 89th-minute equaliser before Wrexham, with replays no longer a feature of the FA Cup, prevailed after extra time could not separate the sides.

Welsh club Wrexham, who play in English competitions, have enjoyed three successive promotions since Reynolds and McElhenney bought the club in 2021.

Wrexham, on a run of four successive Championship wins, kicked off against a much-changed Forest, with the priority for Sean Dyche's men avoiding relegation from the lucrative top flight.

"The first half was completely unacceptable," said Dyche. "I let the players know, and certainly some individuals will know, and they've got to look in the mirror at that side of things. "But, the strangeness of football, I thought the players that came on in the second half were a credit, and we went on and looked like a Premier League side."
