Nottingham Forest are through to the Championship play-off final after beating Sheffield United in a penalty shoot-out.

Sheffield United won the match 2-1 but the tie finished level at 3-3 forcing the game into a shootout.

Forest's goalkeeper Brice Samba was the hero for Forest, saving three out of four of Sheffield United's spot kicks to send his side to Wembley.

Brennan Johnson gave Forest a 1-0 lead on the night to give his side a two-goal cushion. But that lead was eaten up with the visitors scoring twice in the second half to take the game to penalties.
