Forest's stars celebrate a perfect show on penalties

RYAN YATES hailed the togetherness at Nottingham Forest as they celebrated European glory - and then looked ahead to their huge showdown against Tottenham.

Vitor Pereira’s side staged a superb comeback to clinch their place in the quarterfinals of the Europa League in a penalty shootout where Midtjylland hit the post from two of their kicks and put the other over.

Forest boss Pereira showed where his priorities lie, though, by fielding a much-changed lineup.

Most of Forest's big-hitters were on the bench as Pereira named a team with Spurs in mind. Forest broke the deadlock through Nicolas Dominguez’s header and they edged ahead in the tie through Yates’ rocket before Martin Erlic’s strike for the hosts sent the match to extra-time.
