Nottingham Forest clinched their place in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup as they thumped Blackburn Rovers 4-1 at Ewood Park.
The visitors should have been out of sight by the break. Instead, it was all-square as they were left to rue not making the most of a glut of chances.
Brennan Johnson and Taiwo Awoniyi forced saves early on, before the former opened the scoring with 12 minutes on the clock. Brought down by Scott Wharton in the area, the Wales international stepped up and was ice-cool from the penalty spot, sending Aynsley Pears the wrong way.
