    FULL TIME: NOTTINGHAM FOREST 4-0 FERENCVAROS
    Forest and their Hungarian opponents are both through.
    Nottingham Forest crushed Ferencvaros on Thursday night to ensure their Europa League play-off place.
    James McAtee starred throughout, and the former Manchester City playmaker scored a late penalty for his current side's fourth.
    Before then, Bence Otvos' own goal opened the scoring, and Igor Jesus scored a brace with goals coming in both halves.
    The result leaves Forest in 13th in the league format table, with Ferencvaros - managed by Robbie Keane - above them in 12th.
    As the whistle blew, Forest appeared set to meet one of Fenerbahce or Panathinaikos in the play-offs.

    MURILLO ON
    Milenkovic is off. He plays plenty of games for Forest so a rest makes sense.
    Only 12 minutes of regular time left, so this game is likely done as a contest given neither side gets much more out of the game at this stage.
