Wrexham's FA Cup win over Nottingham Forest was a night that will be etched in the memories of the club's fans for years to come. The 2025-26 class of Wrexham etched themselves into cup folklore by taking down a Premier League side at their home ground, Stok Cae Ras.
In front of co-owner Ryan Reynolds, who witnessed his team's 1992 FA Cup heroics being re-written on the pitch, the Red Dragons' took to the field with determination and grit. Wrexham twice were two goals clear against last year's semi-finalists before being dragged into extra time where they pulled off a dramatic comeback.
Manager Phil Parkinson had wished for this moment since the club's journey up from the fifth tier began five years ago. He highlighted some of the great moments in the club's history and asked his team if they could make their own bit of history tonight, which they most certainly did.
While Nottingham Forest manager Sean Dyche was critical of his players' performance during the game, he acknowledged that Wrexham were a force to be reckoned with. "We built up to the game, there was a serious edge to it, we told them about Wrexham - and we were miles off," Dyche said.
Dyche's team is now back to focusing on Premier League survival, while Wrexham will be looking to join them in the next season. As for Wrexham fans, they'll be wondering if this could be a sign of bigger things to come for their beloved club.
Wrexham's recent success has been built upon the foundations laid down five years ago when the team began its journey up from the fifth tier. The FA Cup win over Nottingham Forest adds another chapter to Wrexham's story, one that will surely be remembered for generations to come.

! That FA Cup win was insane and I'm still in shock. The fact that they took down a Premier League side is a massive deal for the club and its fans. It's been a long journey for them, going from the fifth tier to this moment, but it's clear they've got some talented players and a great team spirit.
. The way Wrexham played against Nottingham Forest was just incredible, all that grit and determination paid off in the end.

️. Will this be a one-off fluke or will Wrexham finally get some stability? Only time'll tell 
.
