You've heard , now here is how the reporters at Brent & Kilburn Times saw the game:
R's well beaten at home as Wallace sees red
Mark Warburton suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat against his old side Nottingham Forest after Lee Wallace was handed a straight red in the second half.
Tobias Figueiredo gave the away side the lead heading into half-time before Wallace was sent off for bringing down Joe Lolley five minutes after the restart.
Forest then added three late goals through Lewis Grabban, Joao Carvalho and Alfa Semedo to pick up the win.
Rangers were dealt a huge blow five minutes into the second half when Wallace was adjudged to have pulled down Lolley when through on goal, which looked to be a harsh decision.
Rangers responded well to going a man down and almost had an equaliser when substitute Josh Scowen, who was also booked after coming on, headed Todd Kane's cross into the side-netting.
But Forest put the game to bed with ten minutes remaining as Ameobi crossed to Grabban to tap in at the back post.
The away side added another when Carvalho burst into the box, dodged a challenge and beat Lumley, despite the goalkeeper getting a hand to it.
Alfa Semedo then struck in added time when Lumley parried a shot into the path of Ameobi, who squared to his team-mate to tap in.
