Chris Wood strikes extra-time winner for Forest to avert FA Cup shock

In a challenging week for Nottingham Forest, Chris Wood scored an extra-time winner to secure a 3-2 victory against Blackpool in their FA Cup replay at Bloomfield Road.

Nottingham Forest, charged with breaching financial regulations earlier in the week, faced a tough challenge as Blackpool fought back from 2-0 down.

Forest seemed in control with goals from Andrew Omobamidele and Danilo, but Blackpool mounted a comeback with Albie Morgan’s stunning strike and a header from substitute Kyle Joseph.

The thrilling match, marked by drama in the final half-hour, forced the game into extra time.

Chris Wood scored the decisive goal in the 110th minute, turning in a cross from Ryan Yates. The win advanced Nottingham Forest to the fourth round of the FA Cup, where they are set to face Bristol City.

The victory provided a positive note amid a troubled week for the Premier League club.
