A history lesson from head coach Steve Cooper helped inspire Nottingham Forest to a thumping Carabao Cup victory over Blackburn Rovers.
The Reds have won the competition four times before and been runners-up twice. But it is a long time since they have reached the latter stages of the tournament.
Their 4-1 triumph at Ewood Park sent them through to the quarter-finals for the first time since 1994. They could have scored more, but a Brennan Johnson brace and strikes from Jesse Lingard and Taiwo Awoniyi eased them into the next round as they made their return to action following the World Cup break.
