NOTTINGHAM FOREST STUN ARSENAL IN THIRD-ROUND SHOCK OF FA CUP

SMA NEWS – LONDON
Lewis Grabban’s goal seven minutes from time saw Nottingham Forest dump Arsenal out of the FA Cup in the third-round for the second time in four years.
There was little goalmouth action in the tie and Mikel Arteta is sure to be angry at his side’s lacklustre display.
Still, Arsenal would have been in front at this point if Eddie Nketiah had headed home Bukayo Saka’s cross just before the hour mark rather than float his free header at ninety degrees to the goal.
The winner came after a fantastic run down the right flank from Ryan Yates and his cross was steered home first time with the outside of his boot by substitute Grabban.
Forest, who beat Arsenal at the City Ground at this stage 4-2 in 2018, will now play Leicester City at home in the fourth round.
