BLACKBURN, England — Ryan Reynolds and Wrexham have missed out on the chance of a showdown with Newcastle after losing to Blackburn 4-1 in the FA Cup. The Welsh club's Hollywood co-owner might have been dreaming of a mouth-watering fifth-round clash against the English Premier League team when Andrew Cannon put Wrexham up 1-0 in the 19th minute at Ewood Park.

Sondre Tronstad notched the fourth goal.
