Frustration for Postecoglou as Swansea Shock Forest with Dramatic Comeback

The Forest boss, hands rooted in pockets, was visibly stunned in disbelief as he stepped onto the field at the conclusion of the match.

The Welsh side had just completed an incomprehensible comeback to advance to the EFL Cup fourth round, scoring twice in the final four minutes of stoppage time.

Igor Jesus registered his first goals for the team to earn a comfortable half-time lead, but Postecoglou is still waiting for his first victory in charge.

The Australian coach seemed to accept responsibility for the breakdown, pointing towards himself as he went to thank the away fans.

“We put them through a tough night,” he said. “We are out of a cup competition we should have progressed in.”

Before the Slovenian substitute equalised in the 93rd minute, it seemed that Postecoglou would secure his first win.

Forest were shocked when Vipotnik made it even, and staggered when the visitors' skipper, Cameron Burgess, scored his second goal in style.

“I had Malick Yalcouyé jumping on my back,” the Swansea head coach said. “I kept an eye on the time because Forest that can put the ball in the top corner.”

Things looked ominous for the second-tier team when, trailing by two first-half goals, the manager brought on key substitutes.

But, the defender pulled a goal back eight minutes later, heading in a set-piece.

The Swansea goalkeeper made a crucial save to deny the winger, but the hosts wasted chances to seal victory.

“Nothing will come easy,” the manager added. “It’s not just going to come to us.”
