FA Cup holders Leicester are dumped OUT by Nottingham Forest after thumping 4-1 win for East Midlands rivals, who add the Foxes to their Premier League scalps after beating Arsenal in round three

'Champions of Europe, you’ll never sing that,’ crowed the Forest fans. Leicester won’t be belting out that one about going to Wembley, either this season.

Mind you, ‘you’re getting sacked in the morning’ could be getting an airing with many more results like this. If Leicester’s board dispensed with the man who delivered the greatest title win in history, they could certainly do for Brendan Rodgers.

This was a brilliant display by Steve Cooper’s Nottingham Forest, thoroughly deserving of their eye-catching victory and a home tie against Huddersfield in the next round.

Having dispensed with Arsenal and Leicester – the last two FA Cup winners – here, they will more than fancy their chances against another Championship club.
