Match report: Nottingham Forest 1-0 Arsenal

By Josh James

WHAT HAPPENED

For only the second time in the past 26 years, we have failed to make it past the third round of the FA Cup - and once again Nottingham Forest – as they were in 2018 - were our nemeses.

In truth we can have few complaints after a very lacklustre performance at the City Ground.

We were far from our best, didn't create much, and were eventually punished by a late Lewis Grabban goal.

The first half was a particularly drab affair, with neither side managing a shot on target.
