Sammie Szmodics shone as Blackburn secured a knockout victory against Wrexham earning a spot in the fifth round with a match against Newcastle. Blackburn’s manager, Jon Dahl Tomasson plans to face his former team from Tyneside. Despite Wrexham taking an early lead Blackburn’s cultured play and Szmodics’ brilliance led to a 4-1 victory. Szmodics scored two goals showcasing his impressive form in the Cup this season.
The win is crucial for Blackburn given their financial challenges and they look ahead to a potential promotion. Wrexham owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney saw their hopes fade and the clash may not feature prominently in their documentary series. The £120,000 winners fee provides valuable support for Blackburn amid financial difficulties.
