Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - FA Cup holders Arsenal were stunned 4-2 by two time European Cup winners Nottingham Forest in the third round on Sunday.
Defender Eric Lichaj scored twice for the hosts either side of a Per Mertesacker equalizer to give Championship side Forest a 2-1 halftime lead.
Ben Brereton, one of seven players aged 23 or under in the Forest side, made it 3-1 from the penalty spot in the 64th minute.
Danny Welbeck took advantage of an error to pull a goal back for Arsenal with 12 minutes left but Forest were awarded another penalty which Kieran Dowell converted.
It is the first time Arsenal have lost in the third round since 1996 and the first time since Arsene Wenger took over.
