At 11.04pm, at last there was a result, Nottingham Forest avoiding an FA Cup upset against 10-man Exeter City after prevailing from the final fourth-round tie via a 4-2 penalty shootout victory. Neco Williams scored the decisive penalty after Matz Sels, who replaced Carlos Miguel midway through the second half, saved from Reece Cole before Angus MacDonald blasted his spot-kick against the crossbar. It was an absorbing contest – locals craned their necks from the windows of the terrace houses on St James Road to get the best view – but a cruel crescendo for third-tier Exeter.
