Forest wins 3-0 at Man City

LONDON — 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 recent sojourn there, 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.

"We know where we are in development terms and we know where we need to go."

While it was more misery for Hughes, whose team paraded new signing Wayne Bridge before kickoff, it was a great result for Forest's new manager Billy Davies, who was appointed on Friday but doesn't officially take over until Monday.

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 on his 27th birthday for League One club Southend after Salomon Kalou had given Chelsea a 31st-minute lead.

"The only way we were going to get anything out of the game was to ride our luck," said Southend manager Steve Tilson. "We did that and then the keeper (Steve Mildenhall) made a fantastic save (from Franco Di Santo) right at the death. We could have been three or four down but the keeper's kept us in it."

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.
