Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Carlos Miguel was withdrawn during their FA Cup fourth-round clash with Exeter City. Miguel, who had conceded two goals by the 59th minute, was replaced by Matz Sels. Forest, despite an initial two-goal deficit, fought back with goals from Ramon Sosa and Taiwo Awoniyi. However, they ended up conceding an own goal from Willy Boly, drawing level at that stage.
Goalkeeper Carlos Miguel was forced off during the second half at St James Park. The Brazilian had started between the posts in the fourth round tie but was replaced by No.1 Matz Sels with 59 minutes on the clock.
Miguel had conceded two goals by that point. An error from the summer signing had allowed Josh Magennis to open the scoring with five minutes on the clock. Goals from Ramon Sosa and Taiwo Awoniyi saw the Reds respond but Miguel then let in an equaliser, courtesy of a Willy Boly own goal, in the 51st minute.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s Reds went into the clash in Devon as the highest ranked team remaining in the competition and eager to avoid suffering the same fate as Premier League leaders Liverpool. Arne Slot’s side were knocked out by Plymouth Argyle, who are bottom of the Championship, on Sunday and Forest went into the clash keen to avoid being on the end of a cup upset against their League One opponents in Devon.
The Reds have just returned from a warm-weather training camp in Dubai as they took advantage of a break in their fixture schedule. Nuno has admitted the success of their trip will be judged by how results unfold in the coming weeks, including against the Grecians. The Portuguese named a much-changed line-up from Forest’s last league game, when they thumped Brighton and Hove Albion 7-0. He had pledged to give minutes to players who have been struggling for regular game time, in the same way he did against Luton Town in the third round. Nuno made 10 changes to his starting XI, with Danilo the only survivor from the victory over the Seagulls.
