Commons rams home winner for Derby

KRIS COMMONS’ goal settled an enthralling FA Cup fourth-round replay between east midlands rivals Nottingham Forest and Derby to ensure a winning return to the City Ground for Nigel Clough.

Former Forest winger Commons sent the Rams through to a last-16 tie at home to Manchester United later this month with a deflected second-half effort.

Derby had seemed down and out when they quickly fell two goals behind. Chris Cohen gave Forest a dream start with a goal after only 60 seconds before Nathan Tyson doubled their lead from the penalty spot on 14 minutes.
