Europa League wrap: Forest survive Fenerbahce scare

Nottingham Forest survived a scare against Fenerbahce in the Europa League play-off second leg as they booked their place in the last 16 with a 4-2 aggregate win.

Forest looked to have the job done against the Turkish side after a handsome 3-0 victory in last week's first leg in Istanbul.

But Kerem Akturkoglu's double put Fenerbahce 2-0 up at the City Ground as they threatened one of the great European comebacks.

However, Callum Hudson-Odoi's second-half strike killed the tie and sent Forest through to a last-16 meeting with either Real Betis or FC Midtjylland, despite a 2-1 defeat on the night.
