Nottingham Forest are already facing an uphill battle for the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final, having been beaten 3-0 by Manchester United in the first leg at the City Ground.
It threatened to be a long night as the hosts got off to the worst possible start. With just six minutes gone, Marcus Rashford breezed past Joe Worrall and Remo Freuler before thumping the ball beyond Wayne Hennessey to open the scoring with a terrific solo goal.
The Reds were very much second best in the opening 20 minutes. But a disallowed Sam Surridge effort sparked them into life.
