Swansea Stuns Nottingham Forest with 97th-Minute Carabao Cup Victory

Nottingham Forest, under new manager Ange Postecoglou, suffered their second consecutive defeat after losing 3-2 to Swansea City in the Carabao Cup third round despite leading 2-0 early in the match. Igor Jesus scored twice for Forest, but Swansea staged a dramatic comeback with two late goals from Cameron Burgess and a stoppage-time equalizer from Zan Vipotnik, culminating in a Burgess winner in the 97th minute. Postecoglou expressed frustration over his team's complacency and failure to close out the game, highlighting the challenges of cup football. Swansea's head coach Alan Sheehan praised his players' bravery in securing the upset over a Premier League side, maintaining Swansea's unbeaten home record this season. The victory sees Swansea advance to the next round alongside other lower-tier clubs who have also surprised top-flight teams. Nottingham Forest's loss continues a difficult start for Postecoglou's tenure, as the club seeks to improve both in domestic competitions and their Europa League campaign.
