FA Cup: Wrexham ‘Crazy’ Liberato Casace celebrates after injury problems

Ahead of the contest, Parkinson revealed he showed his players highlights from Wrexham’s rich history in the world’s oldest national football competition – which included the famous 2-1 win over Arsenal in 1992.

“Yesterday we watched the matches Wrexham have played in the past,” Cacace said.

“It’s great to add to Wrexham’s FA Cup history, and I’m also personally happy to be able to score a goal in the FA Cup.”

Oli Rathbone and Dom Hyam added goals from Kakas in the 37th minute, as Wrexham went on to beat Sean Dyche’s team 4-3 on penalties after a thrilling 3-3 draw after regular time and extra time.

Their reward for beating Premier League rivals for the first time since 1999 is a home draw with Championship rivals Ipswich Town in the fourth round.

Kakas was quick to point out how his team showed their “fight for the badge, for the players, for their teammates, for the fans, for everyone” against Forest.

“It’s a magical night. Just a classic FA Cup match. Beating a Premier League team, it’s a really nice feeling,” Kakasi said.

“I think for the fans, they had everything, and to win on penalties, it feels better.”
