Wrexham: Phil Parkinson criticises VAR after George Dobson red card and Lewis Brunt goal disallowed in FA Cup loss to Chelsea

Phil Parkinson criticised VAR in Wrexham's first encounter with the system during the dramatic 4-2 loss to Chelsea in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Wrexham had two decisions go against them after being reviewed by VAR with George Dobson's initial yellow card being upgraded to a red in the 93rd minute and Lewis Brunt's equaliser to make it 3-3 ruled out for a correct offside call in extra-time.

The hosts had previously taken the lead on two occasions at the Racecourse Ground but quickly lost grasp of the fixture after being reduced to 10 men, with Alejandro Garnacho and Joao Pedro scoring in the extra period to seal an unconvincing win for Chelsea.

VAR is not used in the Championship and was not used in the previous rounds of the FA Cup.
