Arsenal struggled against Nottingham Forest from the start. Nuno Tavares had to leave the field in the first half. It’s because of the trauma. He was replaced on the pitch by Kieran Tierney. Mikel Arteta’s players had a problem with breaking through the well-organized defense of the hosts.
A late goal conceded and Arsenal were eliminated from the FA Cup
The show did not captivate fans of both teams. During the first 45 minutes of the match, none of the teams fired even a single shot on target. Only after switching sides did the players create situations for themselves. Eddie Nketiah was close to the goal, but the striker was unable to head the ball into the goal.
The players also had a great chance. James Garner hit the target with a free kick, but he failed to surprise Leno, the London goalkeeper. Everything indicated that extra time would be needed.
It was not until the 83rd minute of the match that Yates crossed into the penalty area from the right side of the field. It was perfectly read by Lewis Grabban, who hit the visitors’ goal with a certain blow. As a result, team z took the lead.
In the last minutes of the match, the “Gunners” did everything to draw a tie. The mission, however, was unsuccessful and it was Nottingham Forest who advanced to the next round. There he will face the defending Leicester City title.
