Lewis Grabban Scores As Nottingham Defeats Arsenal

Nottingham Forest were victorious over Arsenal in the FA Cup third round as Lewis Grabban bagged a goal.

Forest striker Lewis Grabban came off the bench to grab an 82nd-minute winner and set up a fourth-round clash against holder Leicester City.

Sunday’s result was just the second time in 26 years that Arsenal have been knocked out in the third round — Forest previously beat Arsenal at this stage of the competition in 2018 in what was former manager Arsene Wenger’s final FA Cup game.

Nottingham Forest upped the ante, and were rewarded for their perseverance seven minutes from time. Arsenal failed to muster a response, and made an early exit from the competition.

Striker Eddie Nketiah had a golden chance to score in the second half, rising for a header at the back post that he hit across the face of goal.
