Summary at a Glance

NOTTINGHAM FOREST manager Nuno Espirito Santo announced Taiwo Awoniyi suffered a concussion and a broken nose after a bloody clash against Exeter City.

Awoniyi, 27, started for Forest in the FA Cup fourth-round tie against Exeter at St James Park and scored a goal during a dramatic 2-2 draw that led to a tense penalty shootout won by the visitors.

Forest endured a stressful night in Exeter as Magennis completed a brace after Awoniyi's goal, which led to a penalty shootout.

The striker made it 2-1 after team-mate Ramon Sosa cancelled out Josh Magennis' opener but couldn't finish the match after a horror collision with the Grecians' goalkeeper Joe Whitworth's elbow.

The Nigeria international fell to the ground and required almost 11 minutes of treatment before being taken off the pitch on a stretcher in the 13th minute of stoppage time, just before the final whistle.
