Video : Fan attacks Nottingham Forest players as they celebrate goal in Leicester clash

 

Nottingham Forest players were

 attacked by a spectator as they 

celebrated a goal against Leicester City.

The Championship side enjoyed a 

comfortable 4-1 win against Brendan

 Rodgers' team, scoring three goals 

in the space of nine minutes in the 

first half before Kelechi Iheanacho 

pulled one back for the visitors.

Forest did not stop there, however, 

as Djed Spence struck just after the

 hour mark to restore their three-goal 

lead and ensure they progress to 

the next round.

As the Forest players gathered in front

 of the stands to celebrate their third 

goal of the game, a fan ran on and 

threw punches at them.

He was immediately pushed away

 by some players while stewards knocked

 him to the ground and police escorted

 him from the field.

Neither team nor the Football Association

 have released a statement regarding

 the incident as of yet.

The fan will likely be arrested and 

charged by police while a stadium 

ban could also be handed out.

The 4-1 win sees Nottingham Forest 

go through to the fifth round of the 

competition, where they will meet 

Huddersfield Town.

Leicester are now three games 

without a win and Rodgers' team are

 next in action on Thursday, when they

 face Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier

 League.
