Nottingham Forest fans were ecstatic after their side booked their place in the Championship play-off final with a nerve-shredding penalty shootout victory over Sheffield United at the City Ground. The Reds lost 2-1 to Sheffield United after extra time on Tuesday night, May 17, meaning the 3-3 aggregate score sent the clash to spot-kicks to secure a place at Wembley.
Brennan Johnson had opened the scoring for the Reds on Tuesday evening before Morgan Gibbs-White and John Fleck netted for the visitors to set up a nervy finish. Forest had led 2-1 from the first leg at Bramall Lane.
Forest will next play Huddersfield at Wembley on May 29 for a place in the Premier League. It was a real night to remember at the City Ground - and in pubs and homes around Nottingham - as supporters enjoyed the nail-biting victory.
