Nottingham Forest sent 'magic' message after Blackburn Rovers victory

Nottingham Forest fans have had their say after the victory against Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday evening.

Steve Cooper's side have booked their place in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals with a 4-1 victory at Ewood Park, on their return to action following the World Cup break.

Brennan Johnson handed the Reds the lead from the penalty spot in the opening 13 minutes before Scott Wharton levelled the scoreline just before half-time.

Jesse Lingard quickly restored the lead in the second half, prior to Taiwo Awoniyi adding a third and Johnson grabbing his second of the evening to round off a comfortable victory for Forest.
