In a gripping FA Cup encounter, Taiwo Awoniyi proved to be the hero for Nottingham Forest as they edged out the Robins in a dramatic penalty shootout. However, it was Matt Turner who stole the spotlight with a stunning penalty save, denying Sam Bell and ultimately sealing Forest’s victory.
Turner’s heroics reaffirmed his value to boss Nuno Espirito Santo, especially after the recent acquisition of Matz Sels. Despite an early setback, Forest surged ahead through Divock Origi’s goal, only to be pegged back by Jason Knight’s strike for the Robins. The match remained deadlocked until the final whistle, forcing extra time where both teams pressed for a winner.
However, with neither side able to break the deadlock, the contest was ultimately decided by penalties. Forest emerged victorious, setting up a tantalizing fifth-round clash against Manchester United.
