Nottingham Forest's caretaker manager John Pemberton was elated to finish his time in charge with a stunning 3-0 FA Cup third round victory at Manchester City.

Goals from Nathan Tyson, Rob Earnshaw and Joe Garner gave Forest a famous win at Eastlands and ensured that new boss Billy Davies will take over with his squad on a high.

Pemberton said: "Billy spoke with the players on Saturday morning, but he wanted to leave it because it was such short notice.

"I just wanted the lads to give a good account of themselves and get them ready to play.

"Winning is fantastic, but on Monday morning I will be back to my normal job, getting the reserve team ready for a game against Lincoln City away on Wednesday.

"That is how things are in football, you get highs and lows. I have been at Nottingham Forest a long time and I am happy to work at the club.

"Today was probably the highlight of my career. To win 3-0 against a Manchester City side stuffed with talent and deserve it was fabulous."
