Nottingham Forest earned a memorable 4-2 win against Arsenal in the FA Cup clash on Sunday.
Manager-less Championship side Nottingham Forest stunned FA Cup holders Arsenal after winning 4-2 at the City ground.
The home side took the lead in the 20th minute when Eric Lichaj headed in from close range. The Gunners leveled quickly, just three minutes later, through Per Mertesacker.
However, just at the stroke of half time, Forest regained the lead when Lichaj scored a spectacular dipping volley from the edge of the area.
After the break, Gary Brazil’s (the caretaker boss) side extended their lead when Ben Brereton sent David Ospina the wrong way from the penalty spot. The youngster was superb during the match.
Danny Welbeck pulled one back for the Gunners to make it 3-2. Joe Worrall was shown a straight red in the closing stages of the game, but all hopes were dashed for the visitors when Kieran Dowell scored from the spot in the 85th minute.
Forest managed only 31% of possession but they registered nine shots on target. Former Forest player and club hero Stan Collymore, took to social networking site Twitter to express his reaction after the game. He tweeted:
