Brice Samba reveals incredible work which led to 'blessed' day with Nottingham Forest

Former Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Brice Samba has revealed the work that was behind the penalty shootout victory to get Forest to Wembley at the end of last season.

The Reds faced Sheffield United in the Championship play-off semi-final back in May. 2-1 away wins in both legs of the tie saw the game go to extra time and eventually a penalty shootout.

Samba proved to be the hero for Forest, saving penalty kicks from Oliver Norwood, Conor Hourihane and Morgan Gibbs-White to send Steve Cooper ’s men to Wembley. The final saw Forest book their place back in the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town.
