Nottingham Forest Under-18s have been told to use the hurt of losing in the FA Youth Cup final to spur them on in their drive to have successful careers.
A controversially-awarded penalty proved to be a turning point in the game as Warren Joyce’s Reds fell 3-1 to Manchester United at Old Trafford. Josh Powell had drawn the visitors level before the break, only for a spot-kick to be given against Zach Abbott for a foul which replays showed clearly took place outside the area.
Alejandro Garnacho fired home, and added a second to wrap up the victory. But the final scoreline did not reflect the visitors’ performance, which came in front of a record 67,000 crowd featuring almost 6,000 away fans.
