It took 90 minutes for Wrexham AFC to learn a hard lesson. The Premier League giants Chelsea thrashed the Reds 5-0 in its first friendly in the US tour. The Blues were all over the Welsh club, giving them no chance of a comeback. And after a disappointing loss, the club’s co-owner Rob McElhenney has sent a warning to Chelsea. 

The English soccer club made a meal of Wrexham by thumping them 5-0. It took less than three minutes for the Londoners to open the scoring. The Blues dominated the game from start to finish. As a result, the Red Dragons had their first shot on target in the 78th minute. But despite this thumping, McElhenney has thanked Chelsea, but with a friendly warning.

Wrexham co-chairman has set his sight on the Premier League

Despite fans brutally trolling Wrexham and Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney garnered attraction with an epic tweet. The Reds co-owner took to Twitter after the 5-0 loss and wrote, “Thank You Chelsea!!! Hopefully we’ll see you again in 5 years or so:)” Well, that’s some ambition from the ‘It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’ star.

The Reynolds and McElhenney duo have set their sights on the Premier League in the next ten years. But it seems the heavy loss to Chelsea has changed the mind of McElhenney, who has set a timeline of five years to meet Chelsea in the Premier League. It will be an uphill task for the Red Dragons, but not impossible. Luton Town can be the best example of it.

Now all the eyes will be on the Red Dragons after a heavy loss to the Londoners. The fans will hope the club and the players come back from the disappointing loss. They will travel to Los Angeles next to play LA Galaxy II before playing Manchester United. Wrexham will wrap up the tour with a friendly against Philadelphia Union II in McElhenney’s hometown.
