Forest Fall to Midtjylland, Lyon Rescue Draw at Celta Vigo
Midtjylland secured a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest with a late header while Lyon drew 1-1 against 10-man Celta Vigo, impacting the Europa League last-16 first leg.
- On Thursday, Nottingham Forest lost 1-0 at home to FC Midtjylland in the Europa League last-16 first leg.
- Forest had hoped to put their Premier League relegation battle to one side, but torrential rain and a waterlogged pitch made playing conditions difficult and disrupted the game flow.
- Goalkeeper interventions and a struck crossbar punctuated the second half, with Matz Sels parrying efforts and a shot coming back off the crossbar before Midtjylland's winner arrived about 10 minutes from time.
- The first legs leave both ties finely poised, with Midtjylland having now beaten Forest at the City Ground twice this season, deepening Forest's difficulties, and Lyon's late leveller keeping their tie alive.
- Across Thursday's ties, Ferencvaros beat Braga 2-0, Genk won 1-0 over Freiburg, and Aston Villa secured a 1-0 victory at Lille.
