Report and unrestricted video highlights from the Carabao Cup quarterfinal encounter between Wolves and Nottingham Forest at the City Ground Dean Henderson, the goalie for Manchester United, stops two penalties in the shootout to advance Steve Cooper’s Reds to the fourth round.
Nottingham Forest defeated Wolves 4-3 on penalties to advance to the Carabao Cup semifinals, and Dean Henderson was the match-winning player.
The goalkeeper, who is on loan from Manchester United, stopped Joe Hodge’s penalty after save Ruben Neves’ first, sending Steve Cooper’s Reds into the round of 16, where they will face Manchester United.
After ex-Wolves defender Willy Boly, who played five seasons at Molineux, bundled in a corner from close range (18), Raul Jimenez saved the visitors with an easy tap-in in normal time (64) but they were unable to get the equalizer they frequently threatened.
With the win, Forest advances to the semifinals for the first time since 1991–1992, when they were United’s runners-up.
How the Reds under Steve Cooper qualified for the semifinals
Both teams didn’t seem motivated to start strong because the idea of making it to the competition’s semifinals was so foreign to them. Wolves last advanced past the quarterfinals when they won it in 1979/80, and Forest did the same when they made it to the championship game in 1992.
Long stretches of ball possession were given to the visitors, who were safe in the knowledge that, for the most part, their opponents couldn’t threaten as a result of their dominance, according to Forest.
