The Hollywood-owned club were expecting to move on into the second round to get a bigger team.

However, they were well-beaten, with Jack Muldoon scoring the only goal of the game.

Post-game, Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson said: "We dominated the first early exchanges. 

“I thought our approach play was really good, but we lacked conviction in our crossing and our finishing to get that goal.

"Then we've conceded a goal from a set play, which gave a team who are good at hanging in there - that's what they do - they did it at our place last year; they're a backs-to-the-wall type team, and we gave them something to hang on to."
