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
51 mins: Arsenal haven’t been penetrating at all tonight. Their attacks have come from the wide areas - mainly through Martinelli - and then the final ball lets them down. There’s no intensity or urgency to the Gunners who seem happy to just knock the ball around the midfield.
Nottingham Forest 0 - 0 Arsenal
48 mins: It’s been a bright start to the second half from Nottingham Forest. Djed Spence has been a force of nature on the right wing for the home side and Arsenal have been unable to handle him. The ball comes inside to James Garner who elects not to shoot and instead sends it back out to the wing. A cross comes into the box but Rob Holding heads it away.
Second half: Nottingham Forest 0 - 0 Arsenal
Kick off: A reminder that there has to be a result today so if this game ends in a draw then we’ll be going to extra-time and maybe even penalties.
Arsenal restart the match with a pass back to Bernd Leno. He sends it long and picks out Saka but his first touch is poor and Scott Mckenna clears the Nottingham Forest lines.

Half-time: Nottingham Forest 0 - 0 Arsenal
45+1 mins: A rather sedate 45 minutes of football comes to an end. Arsenal haven’t been great but Nottingham Forest have had moments of joy on the counter-attack.
The game needs a goal to spark it into life. Goalless at the break.
Nottingham Forest 0 - 0 Arsenal
43 mins: Forest pass the ball back to Samba and he sends it over to the right wing. Nketiah chases the ball down and slips just before his reaches the goalkeeper sliding into Samba, knocking him down and drawing boos from the home supporters.
Nottingham Forest 0 - 0 Arsenal
41 mins: Arsenal aren’t playing at the peak of the powers. Not by a long way, there seems to be a slackness to their play resulting in wayward passes and not many players getting into the box. Most of their crosses from the wide areas have gone sailing over the heads of everyone in the box. Mikel Arteta can’t be pleased with what he’s seeing.
Nottingham Forest 0 - 0 Arsenal
38 mins: Martinelli has made a few good runs into space on the left side and this time he’s played in behind. He collects the ball and passes into the box for Tierney who is quickly crowded out. The left-back manages to offload to ball to Holding but his shot is charged down on the edge of the box.
