It should be the best of times for Nottingham Forest but the great expectations of securing an historic Champions League spot risk making it the worst if they miss out. A Murillo mistake gifted Everton victory in stoppage time as the pressure started to show at the City Ground. The Brazilian centre-back lost the ball just inside the Everton half, allowing Dwight McNeil to breakaway and slip in Abdoulaye Doucouré to finish the job in the 94th minute. The visitors deserved the win against Forest who did not live up to their lofty position of third place amid a disappointing performance. Continue reading...

Campaigners denounce ‘cover-up of a cover-up’ as IOPC clears officers of scapegoating Liverpool supporters A 12-year investigation into the Hillsborough disaster by the police watchdog has concluded that no senior South Yorkshire police officers were guilty of misconduct for falsely blaming misbehaviour by Liverpool supporters. That police case was wholly rejected in 2016 by the jury at the second inquest, who determined that no behaviour of Liverpool supporters contributed to the disaster, which happened on 15 April 1989 at the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough stadium.

If Ipswich could have been forgiven for having next season’s Championship already in mind, Bournemouth are plunging their own depths of disappointment. Winless since mid-February, Cherry-flavoured European dreams fade fast, defeat to the strugglers following exit from the FA Cup. Still nine points shy of safety, Kieran McKenna’s team’s chances remain remote. The only certainty appears that Liam Delap, scorer of a rampaging second goal, will be playing Premier League football next season but, with eight games to play, after a first Premier League win in 2025, their small chance is far better than no chance at all. Ipswich, without a game since 15 March, have seen survival hopes crumble while they could only watch in impotent pessimism. The revivals of Everton, West Ham and most obviously Wolves have trampled on any seeds of a comeback; Wolves’ defeat of the Hammers on Tuesday was another dagger to hearts. Autumnal expectations have been crushed by a scolding winter, and some harsh lessons learned. Back in December, Ipswich took the game to Bournemouth only to be denied at the last. Here they set up with far greater pragmatism. Six changes from a 4-2 home defeat to Nottingham Forest suggested McKenna had done plenty of thinking. Continue reading...

Anthony Elanga had left Manchester United in his past. On Tuesday, they trailed in his wake - to Nottingham Forest's benefit.

Makeshift striker Harry Maguire coming closest to rescuing a point for Manchester United at Nottingham Forest illustrates the attacking struggles of Ruben Amorim's side.

‘I will not have the time. We have to get it right, fast’Manager put Harry Maguire up front as late substitute Ruben Amorim bemoaned Manchester United’s toothless attack as Nottingham Forest completed a Premier League double over his side and reiterated he is under pressure to ensure his team “get it right fast”. Forest enhanced their chances of qualifying for the Champions League with a third successive league win, courtesy of an extraordinary counterattack goal by the former United forward Anthony Elanga, while United are 13th and yet to record back-to-back wins in the division this season.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim says his side lacked quality in attacking areas after a 1-0 Premier League defeat by Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

Nottingham Forest's "incredible" season continues as they beat Brighton on penalties to reach the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time in 34 years.

After Exeter and Ipswich, Nuno’s team became the first to win a third consecutive penalty shootout in Cup history Even as modern life takes over, history is everything in the FA Cup. The competition’s newfound disdain for replays allowed Nottingham Forest to become the first team to win three consecutive FA Cup penalty shootouts. History was made, novelty was witnessed, but in a setting that emphasised the traditions of the grand old Cup. After Exeter and Ipswich, fell Brighton, and so Forest matched the feat of the Moroccan army side FAR Rabat, who beat MC Oujda, Wydad Casablanca and Rachad Bernoussi on penalties in successive rounds to win the Coupe du Trone in 2007. It was a game characterised by caution, reflecting both Forest’s habitual preference for a low block and Brighton’s wariness after losing 7-0 to Forest last month. But it also perhaps reflected how much both sides cared, a welcome, if retro, feature of the latter stages of the FA Cup this season. Continue reading...

Forest clinch third successive shootout win in FA Cup‘It is a huge moment for us in our journey together’ Nuno Espírito Santo paid tribute to goalkeeper Matz Sels and his Nottingham Forest team after they beat Brighton in a penalty shootout to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup for the first time in more than 30 years. Having seen off Exeter and Ipswich in rounds four and five, Sels consulted notes on his water bottle before saving spot-kicks from Jack Hinshelwood and Diego Gómez after both sides had cancelled each other out during normal and extra time. It was left to the captain Ryan Yates to score the winning penalty for Forest, who are also on course to qualify for next season’s Champions League via the Premier League, even if he will miss the semi-final having been booked during extra time.
