Ned Kelly: Full post-match reaction.

Nottingham Forest missed out on a play-off spot on a dramatic final day of the season today as their East Midlands rivals Leicester City struck in added time to earn a 3-2 win in a pulsating game at the City Ground.

In an exhilarating first period the Reds took the lead after just three minutes when Simon Cox struck for the first time in 27 games. However, Leicester rallied back and Matty James equalised before Andy King’s header gave the Foxes the advantage at the break.

After the interval Elliott Ward glanced home for the hosts to level things up once again but with Bolton being held at home to Blackpool, it was Forest that were made to pay late on as Leicester booked their place in the play-offs thanks to a 92nd minute goal from Frenchman Anthony Knockaert.
