It was a Wrexham comeback for the ages as Arsenal fell victim to an FA Cup third round giant killing at the Racecourse Ground.

Mickey Thomas struck a beautiful free-kick to cancel out Alan Smith's opener, with Steve Watkin scoring the winner just two minutes later.

The two teams were poles apart - 90 places had separated them in the English Football League the previous season.

Arsenal were crowned First Division champions, their second title in three seasons under manager George Graham, while Wrexham had ended the 90-91 campaign bottom of the Fourth Division.

In any other season Wrexham would have been relegated to the Conference, but were spared that fate due to the Football League re-organisation.
