A dramatic night at the City Ground leaves Nottingham Forest “even more fuelled up” for the Championship play-offs final, according to boss Steve Cooper.
The Reds had been in the driving seat at the start of the second leg, leading Sheffield United 2-1 after triumphing at Bramall Lane on Saturday. But the Blades pulled the tie level on the banks of the Trent, forcing extra-time.
And with no breakthrough in the extra 30 minutes, it went to penalties. Brice Samba was the hero for the hosts, saving from Oliver Norwood, Conor Hourihane and Morgan Gibbs-White to send his team to Wembley as they won 3-2 on spot-kicks.
