Zqn Vipotnik then levelled in the third minute of stoppage time, before Burgess thrashed home his second of the night to round off an astonishing victory. Here's how the players rated on the night. Sign up to our Swansea City newsletter here.

Andy Fisher 7

Didn't really put a foot wrong. Great save to deny Hudson-Odoi in the second half.

Josh Key 7

Caught open defensively a couple of times, but put some decent deliveries into the box, and made some crucial blocks and clearances.

Cameron Burgess 8 - STAR MAN

Sounds ridiculous now. But until he scored his first goal, he didn't actually play that well. Grew into it brilliantly, and the second goal was a really smart finish.

Kaelan Casey 7

No player made more clearances. Not a flawless performance, but stood up to the test really well on the night.

Ishe Samuels-Smith 7

First senior outing for the 19-year-old, and he didn't looked overawed by the occasion at all. Decent debut. Subbed

Ethan Galbraith 8

Really good again. Made a number of decent tackles in the middle and some really good driving runs. Unlucky not to score before the winner.

Goncalo Franco 6

Nothing to really take issue with, but another quiet performance from the midfielder. Subbed.

Manuel Benson 7

A little rusty at times, but that's to be expected. Ideas were certainly there, even if execution sometimes wasn't. Grew into it well. Subbed.

Malick Yalcouye 7

Battled really well in the middle of the park, and his pressing seemed to cause problems for Forest at times. Subbed.

Eom Jisung 7

Another who looked good on the press. Assist for the first goal too. A decent showing.

Adam Idah 6

Looked eager to get involved, but just couldn't quite make his mark on the game. Not a bad performance, but probably more to come from the Irishman. Subbed. Sign up to the Swansea City WhatsApp service to get breaking news and top stories sent to your phone.
