Premier League Forest and Bournemouth dumped out of FA Cup

Elsewhere on a hectic day of third-round action, 2021 winners Leicester emerged unscathed from a tricky tie against lowly Gillingham and there were wins for Fulham and Brighton.

Forest boss Steve Cooper named an entirely different starting team for the match at Blackpool after his side's midweek win against Southampton, which lifted them out of the Premier League relegation zone. The plan backfired badly as the Championship team won 4-1 at Bloomfield Road, with goals from Marvin Ekpiteta, Ian Poveda, CJ Hamilton and Jerry Yates.

"This is a fantastic competition that I have been quite fortunate to experience fantastic days in and this was one of them," Blackpool manager Michael Appleton told the BBC. "The fans have been great but we haven't given them enough at home but it isn't through the want of trying," he added.

Two goals from Morocco winger Anass Zaroury gave Championship leaders Burnley a 3-1 lead at Bournemouth but Dominic Solanke scored just after half-time to narrow the deficit. However, Manuel Benson scored his second of the game to restore Burnley's two-goal cushion and they advanced to the next round with a 4-2 win.

"They're happy, the players have the right to celebrate," said Burnley boss Vincent Kompany. "But it's the same for us to do every weekend.  The process after the game is to debrief and get back into the work routine. We'll be doing that again. I think you treat the FA Cup the same as the league. There wasn't too much consideration on workload because the games were sufficiently apart. We felt we wanted to do well in the competition."
