Summary at a Glance

Exeter City 2-2 Nottingham Forest (2-4 on pens): Premier League high-flyers edge past 10-man League One side on penalties to avoid FA Cup giant-killing Devon is a lovely spot for a holiday but utterly horrible for big boys in the FA Cup.

Forest went four for four in the shootout and will face Ipswich Town in the FA Cup fifth round.

After a sterling effort stretching well beyond two hours, Reece Cole had his kick saved, Angus MacDonald hit the bar, and Forest went four for four, Neco Williams drilling the winner.

Ed Turns received a red card on his debut, meaning Exeter were one man short in extra time.

With Chris Wood joining the charge from the bench, Forest had countless chances in extra time, but Exeter would not budge until the shootout.
