Irish duo feature as Blackpool stun Premier League Forest, Omochere makes FA Cup history

BLACKPOOL BELIED their poor Sky Bet Championship form to beat Nottingham Forest 4-1 and dump the Premier League side out of the FA Cup.

Forest boss Steve Cooper made 11 changes for the third-round tie and was left stunned as his new-look line-up failed to convert a host of chances before being punished on the counter by the Championship strugglers. But the lead lasted three minutes as the unmarked Toto Nsiala headed in Danny Andrew’s corner to draw Fleetwood level.

But Omochere produced a fine finish on the turn to give Fleetwood a deserved win and create one of the shocks of the third round.Advertisement Substitute Deniz Undav added a late fifth on a day when Michael Carrick’s promotion hopefuls were given a taste of what awaits them should they make it out of the second tier this season.

In addition, Aaron Connolly made his Hull debut off the bench in the 61st minute, while Sean McLoughlin started but the Irish duo could not inspire their side to victory.
