NOTTINGHAM Forest won 3-0 at free-spending Manchester City for the biggest upset in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday and Southend scored an injury-time equalizer to snatch a 1-1 draw at Chelsea.
Nathan Tyson and Rob Earnshaw scored first-half goals for League Championship club Forest at the City of Manchester Stadium. Joe Garner added a third in the 75th minute to embarrass manager Mark Hughes, whose team is also struggling in the Premier League despite being bought by a hugely wealthy Abu Dhabi business group four months ago.
Although Hughes has managed to lift the club out of the Premier League relegation zone following a brief stint, Saturday's loss is just the latest to cast doubt upon his future with the club.
"I know exactly what is needed here," Hughes said. "The work we do on a day-to-day basis makes players better. They have to be brave enough to perform in matches. Today some were guilty of not doing that."
Hughes said he needs more players to make City the team he wants it to be, but doubts he can get them all during the January transfer window - even with the club's huge financial resources.
"We know the areas of the squad we have to strengthen and we will try to do that," Hughes said. "It is not going to happen in this window, or even two or three. We need more time."
Peter Clarke scored an injury-time equalizer for League One club Southend after Salomon Kalou had given Chelsea a 31st-minute lead.
The result was a big embarrassment for Blues coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, whose team was a huge favorite to beat the modest lower-division team.
Stoke tumbled 2-0 at League One side Hartlepool. League One side Peterborough drew 1-1 at West Bromwich Albion thanks to an 87th-minute equalizer by Craig Mackail-Smith and defending champion Portsmouth also faces a replay after being held 0-0 at home by Bristol City.
Sunderland edged Bolton 2-1 and Hull and Newcastle will need a replay after a 0-0 draw. On Friday, Tottenham beat Wigan 3-1.
Arsenal beat Plymouth 3-1 thanks to two goals from Robin van Persie. Everton won 1-0 at Macclesfield on Leon Osman's 43rd-minute strike and West Ham outplayed Barnsley 3-0 with goals by Herita Ilunga, Mark Noble (penalty) and Carlton Cole.
Premier League leader Liverpool won 2-0 at Preston as Albert Riera and substitute Fernando Torres scored.
