Paqueta cannot believe how he did not score. His effort from the edge of the penalty area was kept out on the line by a sliding Wood who deflected it wide of the post for a corner. The effort fell to the attacker after Kilman had headed the ball back across the area for a poor Forest clearance to land at his feet. Only Wood will know if he meant to clear the ball the way he did.
