Forest 3: Morgan (foul, 81), Earnshaw (time wasting 87), Thornhill (time wasting 96).

Man of match: Chris Cohen. It was Lewis McGugan's impressive strike that won the match and Guy Moussi's return to action that gained most attention, but another hard-working, energetic display from Cohen was the foundation for Forest's dominance in midfield.

Moussi, McGugan, Paul Anderson and Garath McCleary were all impressive across the middle, but Cohen was the pick of the bunch.
