Hurzeler 'won't discuss' 7-0 Forest thumping ahead of FA Cup rematch

Nottingham Forest secured a place in the FA Cup semi-finals by beating Brighton & Hove Albion 4-3 in a penalty shootout when Ryan Yates smashed home the winner after the game finished goalless following extra time.

Forest keeper Matz Sels saved Jack Hinshelwood's low shot towards the bottom corner before keeping out Diego Gomez's attempt into the middle of the goal either side of the visitors' missed effort from Neco Williams that flew over the bar.

Before that, it had been a low-key 120 minutes with few clear-cut chances and the prospect of penalties to decide it seemed inevitable from fairly early on.

Crystal Palace also progressed with a 3-0 win at Fulham in their quarter-final earlier on Saturday, while second-tier Preston North End host seven-times winners Aston Villa before Manchester City, who have also had seven triumphs, visit Bournemouth in the remaining last-eight ties on Sunday.

Forest goalkeeper Sels delighted for the fans

Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels, speaking to the BBC, said: "I'm happy. We are going to Wembley. It is amazing for the supporters so I am happy that I could help the team. I am really happy to play at Wembley.

"In penalty shootouts you always need a little bit of luck but I'm really happy. We need to continue now this good performance for Tuesday in the Premier League.

"We kept a clean-sheet, we didn't give away a lot of chances. You need a bit of luck in penalties but now we're focusing on Tuesday which is a big game."
