Sheffield United boss makes Nottingham Forest Wembley claim and lays down City Ground challenge

Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom claims Nottingham Forest celebrated as if they were going to Wembley when they made it 2-0 at Bramall Lane.

Jack Colback and Brennan Johnson had put the Reds in front in Saturday’s play-offs semi-final first leg, with the latter netting in front of the away end with 20 minutes to go. But Steve Cooper’s side could have been out of sight, with the number of chances they created in the first half alone.

Sander Berge kept the tie alive with a late header to make it 2-1 ahead of Tuesday night’s return clash. And Heckingbottom wants his team to quickly get on the scoresheet again at the City Ground, to “change the complexion” of the contest.
