Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo breathed a sigh of relief as his side narrowly escaped the FA Cup fourth round with a 4-2 penalty shootout win over League One bottom side Exeter City.
The Forest struggled after a 2-2 draw in extra time before winning on penalties to set up a fifth-round clash with Ipswich Town. “
I’m relieved, I think we’re all relieved,” said Nuno. “
It wasn’t the best game of course. We started badly but we responded well.
“In the first half we controlled the game, created chances and then scored. “
In the second half the idea was to finish the game off but we conceded from a set piece and everything changed. “
