Sad Wenger admits Nottingham Forest deserved shock victory

Nottingham Forest 4 Arsenal 2: Arsene Wenger admitted he was hurting after Arsenal surrendered their grip on the FA Cup with defeat to Nottingham Forest.

The Frenchman lost a third-round tie for the first time, as his much-changed side went down in an action-packed clash at the City Ground.

Wenger has become the competition’s most successful manager, winning it seven times since taking charge of Arsenal in 1996, but the country’s longest-serving boss was undone by Forest caretaker manager Gary Brazil yesterday.
