A golden chance. A heavy touch from Cunha allowed Sels to ounce on the ball and stop a goal scoring opportunity as the forward clattered into the goalkeeper. Free kick award to Forest.

Gomes is receiving treatment from an innocuous challenge. The Brazilian tackled Hudson-Odoi and came out worse off, but the player has been receiving treatment for the last three minutes. He looks to be ok, but worrying for O’Neil. The manager will monitor the situation as the game continues.
