Summary at a Glance

Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi was stretchered off during Nottingham Forest's FA Cup tie with Exeter City after a heavy collision.

Prior to his injury, Awoniyi had been heavily involved - and scored - in an entertaining cup tie, which saw Exeter stun their Premier League opponents by taking an early lead through Josh Magennis.

Forest pushed forward in a bid to break Exeter's resistance to secure their passage through to the next round - but they were unable to do so, sending the game to a penalty shootout.

The League One outfit headed in 2-1 down at the half-time interval, though, as Forest hit back through goals scored by Ramon Sosa and Awoniyi.

Exeter would go on to miss back-to-back spot-kicks as Forest won the shootout 4-2 to seal a date at home to Ipswich Town next month.
