West Ham vs Leeds LIVE: FA Cup result, final score and reaction plus Tottenham and Liverpool scores
Follow all the reaction from the all-Premier League clash at the London Stadium, plus scores from the rest of the third round fixtures
Manuel Lanzini and Jarrod Bowen piled more FA Cup misery on Leeds as West Ham marched into the fourth round.
Lanzini’s first-half goal and Bowen’s late strike secured a 2-0 win for David Moyes’ side and condemned Leeds to a ninth third-round defeat in the last 12 seasons.
It is now five years since the Whites have won an FA Cup match, and they rarely looked like bucking that sorry trend in a one-sided London Stadium encounter.
Nottingham Forest 0 - 0 Arsenal
78 mins: The ball comes out to Tierney on the left wing. He’s met with a late tackle from Spence who takes more of the man than the ball and goes in the book.
A long ball comes across to Saka on the right side. He takes the ball into the box and squares it across to Lacazette. Worrall squeezes in front of the Arsenal striker and does enough to make him miss they with an attempted shot.
Nottingham Forest 0 - 0 Arsenal
75 mins: Fores float the resultant free kick into the box and McKenna heads it down into the middle of the box. Lacazette is back to boot the ball away and set up a potential counter-attack that comes to nothing for Arsenal.
Nottingham Forest 0 - 0 Arsenal
73 mins: Arsenal win a free kick just inside of Forest’s half. It’s sent into the box but gets easily cleared by the home side.
The battle between Martinelli and Spence continues with the Forest right-back driving the ball up the pitch. He cuts inside and gets cyniaclly hacked down by Martinelli who picks up a yellow card.
Nottingham Forest 0 - 0 Arsenal
70 mins: Charlie Patino is taken off by Mikel Arteta and replaced by Alexandre Lacazette. The substitutions from both managers are pretty attacking but who’s going to come out on top?
20 minutes to play at the City Ground.
Nottingham Forest 0 - 0 Arsenal
68 mins: Keinan Davis’ debut for Nottingham Forest comes to an end just after the hour mark and club captain Lewis Grabban replaces him.
Nketiah is given the ball in the box and he does well to turn to away from Steve Cook before rolling it onto his left foot and blasting a shot over the crossbar!
Nottingham Forest 0 - 0 Arsenal
65 mins: Lovely interception from Jack Colback to spark Forest into a counter-attack. He passes it up to Davis and continues into the penalty area. Davis takes the ball into the left of the box before slotting it back to Garner who curls a cross into the box and sends it straight into the hands of Leno.
Nottingham Forest 0 - 0 Arsenal
62 mins: This is an opportunity for Nottingham Forest. They win a free kick about 25-30 yards out from goal and James Garner stands over it. He smokes it perfectly and the ball looks like it’s sneaking into the top left corner. Leno leaps across and parries it wide of goal! Another good save from the Arsenal goalkeeper.
Nottingham Forest 0 - 0 Arsenal
59 mins: Chance! Nketiah needs to do better here. Saka brings the ball inside from the right and lifts a pass to the back post. Nketiah drifts in behind the Forest defence, jumps and then gets caught in two minds. The ball just hits him on the head and bounces wide of the back post.
Nottingham Forest 0 - 0 Arsenal
57 mins: Maybe that shot from Zinckernagel will spark Arsenal into life. It was certainly the best chance of the game so far. The Gunners come forward with Saka on the ball and win themselves a corner.
It’s whipped in towards the near post where Keinan Davis gets to it first and heads it clear for Forest.
Nottingham Forest 0 - 0 Arsenal
54 mins: Save! Odegaard flicks the ball over to Tierney on the left and his cross into the box is easily cleared by Forest. They break down the right wing with Johnson carrying the ball past Holding. He drives into the box and pulls it back to Zinckernagel who hits a first time shot at goal and forces Leno into a sharp save low to his left!
