US EditionForest knock Brighton out on penalties to book FA Cup semi-final spot
- Nottingham Forest reached the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time since 1991 by defeating Brighton & Hove Albion 4-3 in a penalty shootout at the Amex Stadium, after a goalless draw following extra time.
- The match followed a Premier League fixture last month where Forest beat Brighton 7-0, and before the game, Wayne Rooney criticized the decision to field a weakened Forest side, suggesting Nuno Espirito Santo's priorities lay away from the FA Cup.
- During the match, a potential penalty for Forest was overturned after a VAR review of Kaoru Mitoma's challenge on Elliot Anderson, and later, Morgan Gibbs-White almost scored but Jan Paul van Hecke cleared his header in stoppage time.
- Nuno Espirito Santo stated that the cup is a good chance for players who are working hard but have not had minutes in the league, emphasizing that these players deserve their moments.
- With Matz Sels saving two penalties and Ryan Yates scoring the decisive penalty, Forest, who last won the FA Cup in 1959, are heading to Wembley, keeping their dreams of both FA Cup glory and Champions League football alive.
