Inside the Nottingham Forest dressing room as Brennan Johnson shares 'family' photo

Nottingham Forest players have been taking to social media to celebrate Tuesday night's penalty shootout victory at the end of the Championship play-off semi-final second leg against Sheffield United.

Brice Samba was the shootout hero, saving three penalties from Oliver Norwood, Conor Hourihane and Morgan Gibbs-White to send the Reds to Wembley Stadium without even having to take their fifth spot-kick at the City Ground. The 28-year-old also pulled off a series of stunning saves earlier on in the match to keep the visitors from extending their advantage on the night.

At the other end of the pitch, Brennan Johnson was Forest's goalscoring hero who opened the scoring in the first half with what turned out to be the leveller taking the match to a penalty shootout. The 20-year-old then stepped up to take the Reds' first penalty and again gave them a lead that they would this time see out by taking advantage of Norwood's miss.
