Wrexham v Chelsea live: Score and updates from FA Cup

Wrexham 1-0 Chelsea, 36 mins

Tell you what – the Red Dragons are good value for this lead. They look dangerous in attack and are very disciplined in defence.

They’re doubling up on Garnacho who is looking increasingly frustrated.

Chelsea have had two-thirds of possession but no cutting edge to speak of.

SAVE! Wrexham 1-0 Chelsea, 32 mins

Okonkwo does well to dive on a ball in the Wrexham box ahead of Hato coming in. Brave goalkeeping – putting his head where some wouldn’t put their feet!

Then, at the other end, Longman forces Sanchez into a save! He runs at Badiashile, gets into the box and strikes for goal. It takes a slight deflection off Badiashile and Sanchez has to tip it over the bar.

The corner comes to nothing but another warning for Chelsea.

WATCH: Sam Smith gives Wrexham shock lead

Here’s the moment Sam Smith scored for Wrexham. Class ball from Doyle, lovely finish. It’s how the underdogs lead

Ooooh, that was a chance for Sam Smith! He did so well for the goal but indecision costs him here.

It’s another ball over the top that causes Chelsea’s back three all sorts of bother. Smith can charge into the box, to the left of the goal, but tries to cut back inside on to his right foot and slips – watching the chance go begging.

He had a golden chance to hit it with his left – had to strike it!

Chelsea have settled back into the rhythm of dominating possession but they’re offering little going forward. Food for thought for Liam Rosenior.

SAVE! Wrexham 1-0 Chelsea, 24 mins

Wrexham look lively here. Dobson whips a cros in from the right, one bounce and Cleworth flicks it goalwards, with Sanchez doing well to tip it over the bar.

Ah, the flag went up anyway as Cleworth was marginally offside, so wouldn’t have counted.

First yellow card of the day and it goes to Romeo Lavia. good work by Vyner in midfield, sidestepping Lavia who resorts to clinging on to his shirt and pulling him. Right in front of the referee, who brings out his yellow card.

Dream stuff for the underdogs and Stok Cae Ras went wild after that goal. They’ve got the lead they wanted – can they now hold on?

Chelsea will attack now and they immediately put a ball into the box that Okonkwo does well to claim.

GOAL! WREXHAM 1-0 Chelsea (Sam Smith, 18 mins)

There’s the first shot AND THERE’S THE FIRST GOAL!

It’s sublime from Wrexham and the underdogs lead! A stunning long ball over the top from Doyle for Sam Smith to chase. He times his run perfectly, on Tosin’s shoulder and bursting clear.

A stunning first touch bringing the ball down out of the air and then slotting past Robert Sanchez with his next touch. Class! Pure class!

It’s the fifth round now, so we have a VAR check but THE GOAL STANDS! Wow.

No clear-cut chances for either side yet. In fact, nothing for either goalkeeper to do so far. IN FACT neither side have actually taken a shot yet… We await our first with bated breath.
