90'+1'
RoundArrow

Goal

Verbruggen's pass is intercepted by Silva who runs at goal and slots in Forest's seventh.
89'
RoundArrow

Goal

Neco Williams smashes it into the top left corner from close range.
88'

CLOSE FROM O'RILEY

Georginio is fouled 25 yards from the Forest goal. O'Riley takes the resulting free-kick and gets a great connection, bending it towards the top right corner, but Sels does well to tip it over at full stretch for a corner.
72'
RoundArrow

Substitution

Evan Ferguson replaces Danny Welbeck.
69'
RoundArrow

Goal

Chris Wood fires in from the penalty spot for his hattrick.
68'

Penalty

Penalty to Forest. Lamptey adjudged to have brought down Gibbs-White. Looks like it's both players tangling to be honest.
64'
RoundArrow

Goal

WOOD AGAIN. Elanga, who has caused Albion problems all day, sends in a low ball into the box and Wood taps in.
58'

WELBECK DOWN

That's got to hurt. Welbeck looks to bring the ball down in the box and his head collides with Murillo's. It might even be the Forest defender's teeth that go into the back of Danny's head. Hurzeler thinks it's a penalty, but watching the replay back it looks as if it's a natural collision rather than Murillo trying to take him out. Welbeck eventually gets back up to his feet after treatment.
49'

ADINGRA FIRES OVER

Not a bad attempt from the Ivorian as he gets away from his marker on the left and cuts in, but his shot from 20 yards is a few feet over the top right corner.
46'
RoundArrow

Substitution

Fabian Hurzeler has rung the changes at half-time, replacing Jack Hinshelwood, Kaoru Mitoma and Joao Pedro with Diego Gomez, Matt O'Riley and Simon Adingra.
45'+1'

HALF-TIME, FOREST 3 ALBION 0

45'

FOUR MINUTES ADDED TIME

39'

UNBELIEVABLE SELS SAVE

Welbeck lets fly from the edge of the box and it looks certain to find the top right corner, but the Forest keeper gets fingertips on it, pushing the ball onto the crossbar. It bounces down and Welbeck looks to referee Hooper to see if his watch says it crossed the line, but it didn't.
36'

MINTEH'S HALF VOLLEY EASY FOR SELS

Joao Pedro digs a cross out from the left of the box, it bounces to Minteh and he gets a half decent connection on it, but it's straight at Sels who initially pats it down before catching.
32'

WOOD HEADS IN.

Elanga gets a great ball into the box from the right, Wood peels away from van Hecke and the former Albion striker nods in Forest's third.
30'

LAMPTEY CURLS OVER

Mitoma gets to the by-line and pulls it back into the six-yard area, it's flicked away, but Lamptey is able to meet it first time and sends it a couple of yards over the top right corner.
28'

WILLIAMS SMASHES NARROWLY WIDE

Forest are inches away from a third. Williams is found on the left by a lovely Gibbs-White ball, he cuts across the edge of the box before firing a lovely effort for the bottom right corner, but it clips the post and flies wide.
27'

BIG CHANCE FOR MINTEH

That's a great ball from Joao Pedro to find Minteh running through on goal, but The Gambia international takes one too many touches and Sels manages to smother the shot before diving on the loose ball. Big, big chance.
25'

FOREST ADD A SECOND.

Morgan Gibbs-White heads home from Elanga's corner.
20'
RoundArrow

Yellow Card

Jack Hinshelwood goes into the book for a tackle on Gibbs-White 15 yards inside the Albion half.
19'

JUST WIDE FROM ELANGA

Forest again demonstrate their ability to counter. This time Elanga gets down the left, cuts in and looks for the bottom right corner, but it's wide by a yard or so.
16'

HINSHELWOOD DENIED

That's superb from Georginio has he takes a tumble on the far side of the box but picks himself up and drifts past two defenders. It deflects into the path of Hinshelwood who lets fly, but his shot is blocked by a Forest defender's boot.
12'

FOREST TAKE THE LEAD.

Morgan Gibbs-White is allowed far too much space down the right as he runs into the box, he then crosses low into the six-yard area and Lewis Dunk deflects it into his own net.
11'
RoundArrow

Yellow Card

Danny Welbeck's name is now in the book for a foul on Anderson, as he catches the Forest midfielder late.
7'
RoundArrow

Yellow Card

Murillo goes into the book for dragging Georginio down on halfway. Not ideal for the Forest defender, but the correct decision from Simon Hooper.
5'

GEORGINIO IN MIDFIELD

With Carlos Baleba and Yasin Ayari not in the squad, Fabian Hurzeler has put Jack Hinshelwood and Georginio in as his central midfielders.
3'

PEDRO EFFORT BLOCKED

The Brazilian cuts in from the left of the box and drifts past one defender before letting loose with a strike, but it's straight into a Forest player and the attack is over.
1'

UNDERWAY

A brilliant rendition of Mull of Kintyre from the home support before we get the game underway.

HERE COME THE TEAMS

Lewis Dunk leads the Albion out. Fabian Hurzeler's team are in their yellow away kit, which should remind you of a certain game here in 2014.
