Nottingham Forest 4-1 Leicester: FA Cup holders knocked out in thrilling fourth-round tie
FA Cup holders Leicester City suffered a shock fourth-round loss to east Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest in a pulsating game at the City Ground.
Premier League Leicester were handed a lifeline when home goalkeeper Brice Samba made an error and that enabled Kelechi Iheanacho to roll the ball into an unguarded net, but they were not able to fight back. Most of the match was played in front of a superb atmosphere at a packed City Ground, although there was an unsavoury incident after Forest's second goal. A fan ran on to the pitch and confronted a number of players before being tackled by security and led away.Leicester's FA Cup defence falls apart
However, in front of a crowd of 28,762, Forest were superb. Into the fifth round for only the second time in 17 years, they were not flattered by the winning margin against a side 10th in the top flight. Davis showed superb technique to volley against the Leicester bar before Zinckernagel's opener, with the visitors gifting Forest a second goal only moments later.
