It was a special evening at the City Ground as the Reds fans revelled in their first European semi-final for 42 years (and we were cheated out of that one). Rich and Baz report before and after a match which was decided by Chris Wood's excellent penalty after VAR confirmed Lucas Digne's daft handball.
Both teams really went at it, and although Unai Emery was fuming (faux-outrage) about Elliot Anderson's tackle on Ollie Watkins, the real highlights were a stupendous save by Emi Martínez (history repeating) and some amazing, FIFA-cheat-mode interplay between Forest's two England international midfielders. Oh, what a night!
