FA Cup: Wrexham 3-3 Sheffield United - Egan's late strike denies Wrexham victory
John Egan's stoppage-time goal rescued Sheffield United against non-league Wrexham in a frenetic FA Cup fourth-round tie.Goals from James Jones and Tom O'Connor put the Welsh side ahead before Oliver Norwood equalised for the Blades, who had Daniel Jebbison sent off.
Wrexham co-owner, Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds, was at the Racecourse to see his side put in a tremendous display in their first fourth-round appearance since 1997. Sheffield United showed five changes to the side which beat Hull City 1-0 to extend their unbeaten run to nine games. But the hosts responded positively to those setbacks, with Mullin leading the charge as he looked to add to the seven goals already netted in this season's competition.
Elliot Lee had a shot from the edge of the area blocked before Mullin was brought down on the edge of the penalty box by Egan, but he struck the free-kick against the United wall.Captain Luke Young's shot saved was by Adam Davies with Mullin failing to finish with the rebound before the United defence cleared.
Celebrations had barely died down when Paul Heckingbottom's men equalised against the run of play four minutes later.
