FA Cup: Nottingham Forest edge past Bristol City in penalty shoot-out to book clash with Manchester United

Nottingham Forest required penalties to beat Championship outfit Bristol City in their FA Cup fourth-round replay, after the match finished 1-1 following extra-time.

Divock Origi, who was an FA Cup winner with Liverpool in 2021/22, gave the Premier League outfit the lead after just eight minutes, converting from inside the area after good work by Felipe.

That was the Belgian's first goal for the club since moving to the City Ground on loan from AC Milan last summer.

However, the visitors responded quickly, and after Sam Bell and Andy King had seen shots saved, Jason Knight equalised when finding the bottom corner from Haydon Roberts' pass.

The second half proved a tighter affair, with neither team able to create too many openings as extra-time was required to settle the tie.

As legs grew tired, chances increased during the additional 30 minutes, with Morgan Gibbs-White and Neco Williams coming close for the Tricky Trees, and Anis Mehmeti and Bell thwarted at the other end.

Still, though, the two teams could not be separated, resulting in a penalty shoot-out to settle the tie once and for all.

Forest seized the initiative right from the off, as Bell saw his kick saved by under-pressure goalkeeper Matt Turner, with the scores level at 1-1.

Indeed, Nuno Espirito Santo's did not miss any of their attempts, with Taiwo Awoniyi eventually earning a 5-3 victory.

The result means Forest book themselves an all-Premier League fifth-round clash at home against Manchester United.

In tonight's other fourth-round replay, Chelsea lifted some of the pressure on manager Mauricio Pochettino by beating Aston Villa 3-1.

Conor Gallagher, Nicolas Jackson and Enzo Fernandez were on target for the eight-time winners at Villa Park.

They will now host Championship outfit Leeds United for a spot in the quarter-finals.
