Nottingham Forest beat Ipswich on penalties to reach FA Cup quarters

LONDON: Nottingham Forest needed penalties to beat Ipswich and book a place in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Monday after a 1-1 draw at the City Ground.

Jack Taylor was the only man who failed to score from the spot as Matz Sels´ save edged the shootout 5-4 in Forest´s favour to set up a last eight trip to Brighton. The sides are separated by 15 places and 31 points in the Premier League, but with Forest´s priority securing Champions League football next season, Nuno Espirito Santo rested a number of his key players. Ipswich sensed their opportunity and took the lead early in the second half when George Hirst headed in a corner at the back post.
