Once we got one, I really wanted the team to step on and take the game away from Blackburn. “The objective in a cup game is to get through to the next round. We really committed to the game.

Live updates from the Blackburn Rovers boss after his side were beaten 4-1 by Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup.

Forest looking the most likely to score next so Tomasson calls for reinforcements. We are always looking at the development but we are disappointed. Some of the goals, some of the decision-making, you'd be disappointed. That's what you need to cope with and you saw that at West Ham and some coped better. He will be ready for the next game. With that, Rovers bow out at the fourth-round stage after a memorable run in the competition. There were appeals for offside as he muscled behind Wharton but the flag stayed down and he raced clear to finish past Pears. You have to be focused and keep concentration. When you see City vs Liverpool you know you are far. However, Forest stepped up their tempo in the second half and, backed by a huge away crowd of over 6,000, regained the lead. The latter crossed for Taiwo Awoniyi but his effort went just wide before Johnson scampered away from Wharton but blazed over. The Welshman picked himself up to send Pears the wrong way and make it 1-0.

Wales international Brennan Johnson scored twice on his return to action after the World Cup, while Jesse Lingard and Taiwo Awoniyi were also on target.

He picked himself up and sent Pears the wrong way to put Forest 1-0 up. The Reds looked the brighter of the two sides on their return to competitive action for the first time since November 12 and Johnson had the first chance of the game five minutes in when he was set free with acres of space down the right but drilled his effort straight at Pears. Lingard put the away side back in front with a deflected free-kick and the visitors wrapped things up with two goals in the final 10 minutes to send Forest through to the last eight.

Nottingham Forest FC will support fundraising and relief efforts for people fleeing conflict and persecution worldwide.

This feels even more pertinent than ever right now, with more than 100 million people currently displaced globally, almost half of them children, and such visibility on our shirt and channels will ensure this vital cause is seen by millions around the world every week.” Charlotte Boyle, Chair of Trustees, UK for UNHCR said: “From fighting racism and homophobia to standing with refugees, football clubs around the world are using their power to confront discrimination and support people in need. Our ascension to the Premier League in the summer now offers us an invaluable opportunity to extend that on an international scale. The UN Refugee Agency has been responding to the highest levels of global displacement since records began, making partnerships like this more important than ever in helping the organisation to stay and deliver for refugees. It is raising awareness, providing advertising space and donating to support UNHCR’s lifesaving humanitarian work, such as the delivery of emergency shelter, medical aid, water and sanitation when families are forced to flee. “We’ve got a nice, tasty game against Chelsea on New Year’s Day where we can showcase the new partnership.

Latest Nottingham Forest news from NottinghamshireLive as Reds beat Blackburn Rovers 4-1 in Carabao Cup.

Had got into some really good positions before that, without making the most of them. Ice-cool from the spot to open the scoring, and deserved his brace. Jesse Lingard: Goals in successive Carabao Cup games for the attacker, who will be eager to take that form into the league now. Ryan Yates: Worked hard in the centre of the pitch. Will have returned with confidence after having found the back of the net at the World Cup. Much of the Reds’ threat came down the opposite flank, but he stuck to his task well. Neco Williams: That Williams-Johnson combination down the right caused Rovers problems right from the off. Forest restored their advantage 10 minutes into the second half. Wasn’t helped by defending at the set-piece which resulted in the equaliser. Here’s how Reds reporter Sarah Clapson rated the Forest players at Ewood Park. But on the stroke of half-time, Scott Wharton headed in a free-kick from brother Adam to level. Brennan Johnson and Taiwo Awoniyi forced saves early on, before the former opened the scoring with 12 minutes on the clock.
