Head coach Steve Cooper was left to reflect on a case of what might have been for Nottingham Forest against Liverpool in the FA Cup.
The Reds went toe-to-toe with the Premier League heavyweights at the City Ground, giving them a good game in a gripping quarter-final tie. But not making the most of some positive openings proved costly as they lost out to a Diogo Jota goal.
Philip Zinckernagel missed Forest’s best chance, firing wide from a Brennan Johnson cross. And the visitors immediately went down the other end after that, grabbing what proved to be the winner.
