Holders Leicester has been matter-of-factly unloaded out of the FA Cup at the fourth-round stage after a weighty loss by East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest.
Steve Cooper's resurgent Championship outfit went crazy at a joyous City Ground on Sunday, following up their shock upset of Arsenal with another prominent Premier League scalp on account of objectives from Philip Zinckernagel, Brennan Johnson, Joe Worrall, and Djed Spence.
Kelechi Iheanacho had momentarily given Leicester faint any desires for an improbable rebound at 3-1, however, the Foxes were eventually whipped on a hopeless evening for Brendan Rodgers.
Individual second-level outfit Huddersfield currently anticipates victorious Forest at home in the last-16 as they eye a potential quarter-last billet starting around 1996.
Accomplishment in the Europa Conference League gives off an impression of being Leicester's best any expectation of European football next term yet Rodgers has developing issues. Not least in protection, which collapsed again after Leicester seemed to have settled at the City Ground.
Iheanacho and Ademola Lookman compromised early yet it was misleading daybreak as Forest blew them away in an overwhelming nine-minute spell.
Keinan Davis had effectively crashed a volley off the bar before Forest grabbed two objectives in only 87 seconds.
It was Johnson who was significant to underline his significance to the hosts, who opposed January's advantage from Brentford.
To start with, following 23 minutes, his profound cross tracked down Davis to gesture down for the plain Zinckernagel to take in the middle of Daniel Amartey and Wilfred Ndidi and fire past Danny Ward. Leicester then, at that point, imploded seconds some other time when, from the restart, Amartey's horrendous back-pass observed Johnson and he stroked through Ward's legs to make it 2-0. The holders had been pulverized and more awful was to follow when they fell further behind following 32 minutes
Ryan Yates had as of now botched a fine-headed opportunity before Ward diverted Zinckernagel's shot wide and from Garner's subsequent corner Worrall's jumping header sneaked in.
Be that as it may, as the hosts commended a fan entered the field from the away area prior to beginning to toss punches at the Forest players prior to being pulled away.
Woods amassed over Leicester and Spence was denied by Ward, yet the hosts gifted the Foxes a help they scarcely merited five minutes before the break.
James Maddison's charming pass observed Iheanacho on the avoided with Samba mysteriously surging with regard to his objective. The striker pushed the ball through the goalkeeper's legs and completed well from a point to give the guests trust.
It finished a short of breath half and the following objective was vital. Patson Daka supplanted Barnes at the split and he teed up Maddison to twist simply wide eight minutes after the restart prior to terminating over himself.
There was to be no brave rebound, however, and Spence added a fourth soon after the hour when he traded passes with Zinckernagel to track down the base corner.
