GOAL! FOREST TAKE THE LEAD!
Dream start to the second half for Dyche’s side as Arnaud Kalimuendo makes it back-to-back Europa League games he’s scored in.
A long ball finds its way to Callum Hudson-Odoi who squares it to the French striker.
There’s a bit of luck as he bundles his way through defenders but there’s none about his finish. Quality.

Ferencváros and Rangers get back to it in Budapest.
Will the hosts build on their equaliser?

It’s been a very stop-start game since the opening goal, which will completely suit the Scottish giants.
2 hours ago19:20
Yusuf is causing Rangers all sorts of problems but is yet to truly test Jack Butland.
If the Gers can take their lead into the break, they’ve a real chance of a huge win here.
