George Hirst had nodded Ipswich in front only for Ryan Yates to level with an even more powerful header ahead of extra time and penalties.

Hirst nipped in for the opener from beyond the back post on 53 minutes.

But just when the Tractor Boys were beginning to look comfortable, Anthony Elanga lifted a big cross from the right for skipper Yates to soar and level midway through the second period.

Forest then looked likely to bag a winner as they found momentum and pressure.

Yates had a header ruled out for a marginal offside following a flick-on from Morata.

And Callum Hudson-Odoi hit the bar with a brilliant effort for the home side.

But both sides went for it late in normal time, with Jack Clarke poking a 12-yarder wide for Ipswich.

Yates and Jacob Greaves, who was bleeding from his mouth, then needed treatment following a clash of heads.

Forest entered extra time having had had 16 goal attempts compared to Ipswich’s eight.

Kieran McKenna’s visitors clung on a big in the extra half hour.

The winners booked a last eight trip to Newcastle’s conquerors Brighton.

In the shootout, Forest striker Chris Wood thumped home the first penalty to his left, Sam Morsy doing the same for Ipswich.

Morgan gibbs-White slotted Forest 2-1 up to the opposite corner, Liam Delap levelling with the lowest penalty so far.

Elliott Anderson confidently made it 3-2, Jens Cajuste calmly equalising.

Nico Williams samshed the home side back in front, Ben Johnson planting a perfect reply.

Callum Hudson-Odoi made it a perfect five for Forest – Jack Taykor then seeing his spot-kick saved to condemn Ipswich to defeat.
