Nottingham Forest’s penalty shoot-out hero Matz Sels heaped praise on his teammates following the Reds’ 4-3 penalty shoot-out win against Brighton & Hove Albion.
The stopper saved two of the Seagulls’ spot-kicks in succession, before Ryan Yates converted Forest’s final penalty to secure the Reds’ place in the semi-final of the cup.
Forest’s no. 1 says the players and fans should enjoy the moment after the Reds’ work on the training ground proved fruitful at the AMEX Stadium.
“It’s a moment to enjoy of course, we didn’t give many chances away and we were quite solid in the game.
“We had a few chances to score in the game but we went to penalties and I did my research which was good to help the team.
“Over the last few weeks we have worked on penalties; it’s different in training of course and there is more pressure in the match. I’m happy to help the team and save two penalties.
“The guys did the rest and I’m really proud of them and we’ll look forward to another game in this competition.
“It’s been a few years since the supporters have been to a semi-final so we’ll look forward to it as a team, hopefully we can go there and do something greater.”
