LONDON:Nottingham Forest knocked holders Leicester out of the FA Cup as the Championship side powered to a shock 4-1 win, while non-league Boreham Wood upset second-tier Bournemouth with a 1-0 victory on Sunday.

Leicester’s disappointing season hit a new low with the dismal fourth-round loss against their Midlands rivals at the City Ground.

Last season’s Wembley triumph against Chelsea was Leicester’s first-ever FA Cup final victory, but that seemed a distant memory as their trophy defence ended with a whimper.

“It is a really poor performance. This team has been together for three years and I see some worrying signs with some of the players,” Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers said.

Bottom of the second tier when Steve Cooper took charge in September, Forest have been revitalised by the former Swansea boss and they destroyed Leicester with three goals in nine first half minutes.

Forest will face fellow Championship side Huddersfield in only their second appearance in the FA Cup fifth round in 17 years.
