Philip billing

UEFA Europa League Round: Nottingham Forest overcame Danish outfit FC Midtjylland in the UEFA Europa League Round of 16, winning 3-0 on penalties after a 2-1 victory at the MCH Arena to turn the tie around following their 1-0 success at the City Ground in the first leg.

After the contest finished 2-2 over the two legs, Forest maintained a 100 per cent record from the penalty spot while the home side missed their efforts to secure the Reds' progress.

Forest started on the front foot with Dilane Bakwa driving the ball just over the bar in the early exchanges before Yates was denied by Elías Ólafsson from close range from a Bakwa corner.
