FA Cup round-up: Nottingham Forest defeat Arsenal (January 07 2018)

Sunday's FA Cup results

Newport 2-1 Leeds
Shrewsbury 0-0 West Ham
Tottenham 3-0 AFC Wimbledon
Nottingham Forest 4-2 Arsenal

Arsene Wenger lost an FA Cup third-round tie for the first time as holders Arsenal were defeated 4-2 by Nottingham Forest in an action-packed clash at the City Ground.

Wenger has become the competition's most successful manager, lifting the trophy seven times since taking charge of the Gunners in 1996, but the country's longest-serving boss was undone by Forest caretaker manager Gary Brazil on Sunday.

Eric Lichaj scored twice either side of Per Mertesacker's equaliser before penalties from Ben Brereton and Kieran Dowell sandwiched Danny Welbeck's goal in a 4-2 win for the Sky Bet Championship side.

Brereton tucked away the first penalty in the 64th minute after Rob Holding had brought down Matty Cash, and Dowell converted the second spot-kick after Mathieu Debuchy was adjudged to have fouled Armand Traore five minutes from the end.

Forest defender Joe Worrall was shown a straight red card in the 89th minute for his challenge on Chuba Akpom.

Newport staged a dramatic late comeback to dump Leeds out of the FA Cup with a 2-1 victory at Rodney Parade.

County trailed for the majority of a full-blooded third-round affair after Gaetano Berardi's ninth-minute strike from distance found its way through.

But they levelled 14 minutes from time when Conor Shaughnessy sliced into his own net before Shawn McCoulsky's soaring header sent them into the fourth round for the first time since the 1978-79 season.

Leeds were then reduced to 10 men when substitute Samuel Saiz was immediately sent off in an off-the-ball incident.

Joe Hart kept West Ham in the FA Cup after the Hammers survived a scare at his old club Shrewsbury.

The hosts, second in Sky Bet League One, dominated for long spells and fully deserved another shot at the Hammers after a 0-0 draw.

West Ham needed Shrewsbury-born Hart, who began his career with the Shropshire side, to save well from Mat Sadler and Shaun Whalley while Jon Nolan fired over late on.

Jan Vertonghen scored his first club goal in five years and Harry Kane bagged a brace but Tottenham's FA Cup win over AFC Wimbledon was far from straightforward.

Wimbledon's Jimmy Abdou hit the crossbar with a curling first-half effort and Spurs needed 63 nervy minutes at Wembley before finally breaking down their Sky Bet League One opponents.

When they did, however, the floodgates opened, as Kane scored twice in as many minutes before Vertonghen capped a 3-0 victory with a sensational long-range strike.
