Nottingham Forest star scored as club edged past Bury.
Matty Cash was a hero who almost became a villain as Nottingham Forest beat Bury in the Carabao Cup.
With Forest heading for defeat to the League Two side, midfielder Cash popped up to score an injury time equaliser.
The 1-1 draw meant the game went straight to a penalty shootout and Cash nearly undid his good work by missing his spot kick.
He got away with it, with Bury goalscorer Eoghan O’Connell going onto miss the decisive penalty, putting Forest into the next round.
Cash was pleased to grab his first goal of the season, and sent a message to fans after the victory.
Cash, 21, scored twice for Notingham Forest last season in the Championship.
This season he has appeared just once as a substitute in the league so far for Forest and he will feel glad to have made an impression last night.
Forest’s next fixture is away to Wigan in the league this weekend.
