Nottingham Forest 2-0 Luton Town: Premier League high-flyers ease past managerless Hatters in FA Cup - as sights switch to Liverpool showdown
Share:
And so the Nottingham Forest Express rolls on. Seven wins on the bounce for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side and a place in the FA Cup fourth round thanks to a routine 2-0 victory over a Luton thanks to goals from Ryan Yates and Ramon Sosa. But it’s the next stop on this incredible journey that’s got everyone here dreaming.

For by the time Sosa added Forest’s second, the thoughts of the City Ground had turned to Tuesday night and the visit of title rivals Liverpool. That’s right, title rivals. ‘You Scouse b******s, we’re coming for you,’ came the chants that cut through the frosty air over the banks of the River Trent.

In reality, Forest have much bigger fish to fry than this. They’re third in the Premier League and Mohamed Salah and co. come here in three days with chance for Forest to cut the gap to three points. No wonder, then, that Nuno changed every single player from the side that beat Wolves to start the year. He’s got a title decider coming up, what do you expect? Got to keep the lads fresh.

Ryan Yates was among the scorers as Nottingham Forest earned a 2-0 victory over Luton. Yates headed the hosts in front in the closing stages of the first half in the FA Cup third round. Ramon Sosa sealed Forest's place in the fourth round draw with their second after the hour.

While Forest hope to keep writing this remarkable chapter, Luton on the other hand have just said goodbye to the man who delivered their own dream-filled adventure. Rob Edwards, the manager who led this little club to the Premier League, who left his position this week with the team in danger of back-to-back relegations to League One after four defeats on the spin.
