Wrexham celebrated victory over Premier League opposition for the first time in 26 years, as they beat last season's semifinalists Nottingham Forest in a penalty shootout in the FA Cup third round on Friday.

The Welsh club, who have endured a meteoric rise with three straight promotions to England's second tier under celebrity owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, scored another memorable moment at the STu014dK Cae Ras to move into the last 32 of the world's oldest cup competition.

Reynolds was watching from the stands as Wrexham twice moved into two-goal leads only to be pegged back by the team sitting 17th in England's top tier.
