Aitor Karanka’s side survived a major upset as Nottingham Forest progressed to the Carabao Cup second round against League Two side Bury on Tuesday.
Forest went down to ten men in the first half after Forest keeper Jordan Smith was shown a straight red card for a foul on Dominic Telford.
Eoghan O’Connell gave Bury the early lead inside three minutes. And just when it looked like the Shakers will cause a major upset, Matty Cash’s stoppage time strike saved the day for the home side.
After the game went into the penalties, it took 21 spots at the City ground, and O’Connell to miss the decisive penalty to allow Forest to go through.
