BEAT BRIGHTON AND THE REST IS HISTORY

Nuno urges side to end decades in the FA Cup wilderness

-  BRENDAN MCLOUGHLIN

NOTTINGHAM FOREST boss Nuno Espirito Santo has urged his record-breakers to claim another slice of history as they target a first FA Cup semi-final since 1991.

The road to Wembley was a well-trodden path for Forest back in the days of Brian Clough.

Now, after decades in the wilderness, the Reds are resurgent under Nuno and victory at Brighton today would book a last-four trip to the national stadium.

That was the scene of their 2022 Championship play-off triumph which ended 23 years outside the top flight - and a whirlwind rise to their current position of third has followed.
