Nottingham Forest 4-2 Arsenal: Eric Lichaj brace – including a 20-yard wondergoal – and two converted penalties see holders shocked in FA Cup classic

Nottingham Forest knocked out the FA Cup holders Arsenal with a stunning victory at the City Ground which included an unlikely brace from Eric Lichaj and two penalties.

Lichaj originally gave Forest the lead with a close-range header before Per Mertesacker brought Arsenal back on level terms. The defender's sumptuous volley just before half-time then put them back into the lead.

Ben Brereton and Kieran Dowell then both scored from the penalty spot either side of a Danny Welbeck strike to inflict a humbling defeat on the Premier League side.
