Forest overcome Porto to book Europa League semi-final against Villa

Nottingham Forest progressed from their Europa League quarter-final with a 2-1 aggregate win over Porto to book a last-four meeting with Aston Villa.

After battling to a difficult 1-1 first-leg draw in Portugal, Forest were far more assured on home turf, buoyed by an early Jan Bednarek dismissal for a reckless challenge on Chris Wood that led to the striker hobbling off with yet another knee injury.
