Chelsea vs Wrexham live updates, highlights, commentary
FULL TIME: Chelsea 5-0 Wrexham
The scoreline is extremely harsh on Wrexham, who put up a quality fight against a good group of youngsters, and were undone by poor finishing of their own as well as great finishing from the opposition.
It was a wonderful scene at Kenan Stadium, where the crowd was strongly supporting Wrexham each and every time they went up the field. The League Two club has a very solid fan base here in the United States!
