"I just thought it was a game we really should have killed off long before it got to the stage that it did. I got the sense we were getting a bit comfortable and thought the game would finish off easily but that's not what happens, particularly in cup football. I thought we scored a good third goal. I think the lads got a bit comfortable in that moment and you've got to know the warning signs."
"Forest, who parted ways with Nuno Espirito Santo earlier this month, are yet to win under their new boss, having succumbed to a 3-0 defeat away at Arsenal last Saturday. The Tricky Trees took a two-goal lead in the first half against the Championship side through an Igor Jesus double, but Alan Sheehan's team mounted a dramatic second-half comeback to stun the visitors."
Nottingham Forest were eliminated from the EFL Cup after losing 3-2 to Swansea City, surrendering a 2-0 first-half lead. Igor Jesus scored twice to give Forest the advantage before Swansea mounted a second-half comeback, with a 68th-minute goal and Cameron Burgess scoring a stoppage-time winner after Zan Vipotnik had equalised. Forest remain winless under new manager Ange Postecoglou following a 3-0 defeat at Arsenal. Postecoglou criticised his players for becoming complacent, saying they had opportunities to kill the game, missed chances and poor decisions cost them, and that the squad must improve.
