Nottingham Forest secures victory in a thrilling match against Blackpool with a 3-2 scoreline, thanks to Chris Wood’s decisive goal in extra time. This win propels the Premier League team into the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Danilo of Nottingham Forest (R) celebrated scoring his team’s second goal with teammate Chris Wood during the Emirates FA Cup Third Round Replay match between Blackpool and Nottingham Forest.

Nottingham Forest survived a major scare in their FA Cup third round replay at League One Blackpool as they blew a 2-0 lead before completing a narrow 3-2 extra-time win.

On a freezing cold night at Bloomfield Road – a venue where Forest lost 4-1 in the third round a year ago – Republic of Ireland defender Andrew Omobamidele scored a volley on his Forest debut (16′) before Danilo appeared to have finalized the Premier League side’s progress when he punished some slack defending to score a second goal (46′) early in the second half.

But Blackpool fought back with real self-belief in the final 30 minutes as Albie Morgan struck from just outside the box courtesy of a delightful finish on 61 minutes. Substitute Kyle Joseph then forced the match to extra-time with a headed finish 17 minutes later.

Home substitute Karamoko Dembele had the chance to win it late on for the Seasiders when he rounded Odisseas Vlachodimos in the Forest goal, but Orel Mangala raced back to block his goalbound finish.
