Nottingham Forest score a goalAndrew Omobamidele has played five club games this season, four for Norwich in August and this was his first for Nottingham Forest

Premier League side Nottingham Forest needed extra-time to see off League One's Blackpool in a thrilling FA Cup third-round replay at Bloomfield Road.

Forest had looked to be cruising into the fourth round when Danilo made it 2-0 in the first minute of the second half after Andrew Omobamidele had scored in the 16th minute on his Forest debut.

But Blackpool fought back in style at a raucous Bloomfield Road.

Albie Morgan, whose poor backpass had led to Danilo's goal, pulled one back with a great strike from 25 yards before substitute Kyle Joseph headed in from close range to make it 2-2 to set up a frantic finish.

Then, in the eighth minute of additional time, Blackpool almost won it but Orel Mangala made an incredible block on the goalline after Karamoko Dembele had gone round Forest goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos.

Early in the second period of extra-time, the visitors retook the lead as Ryan Yates' low cross from the left was turned in by Chris Wood for what proved to be the winning goal.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side will now play away at Bristol City on Friday, 26 January in the fourth round.
