Nottingham Forest went down 5-0 against Premier League side Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium last night as their EFL Cup run ended.
The Gunners made changes but their side contained plenty of players of quality and some with points to prove or fitness to regain and ultimately proved too much for Forest.
Sabri Lamouchi told the club’s official website: ““We deserved to lose but five is too much. In the first half, at one down we were always in the game. We started much better in the second half then the second and third goals went in and we gave up a little bit.
“I cannot complain about the players. In the first half we didn’t play like we know we can. We had a lot of respect for the opponent tonight. We are out of the competition but against a big club, top players and I am disappointed for the players because it is cruel and disappointed for the fans because there were a lot of them here tonight.”

But many fans on Twitter complained about the performance of Aro Muric, the goalkeeper on loan from Manchester City, who they felt could have done more to prevent some of the goals.
They were not impressed at all with the loanee stopper and some supporters do not want to see him fielded again in a hurry.
