Nottingham Forest's first team have been on the wrong end of some stunning goals in recent weeks, and that was also the case for their under-23 side against Crewe Alexandra.The Reds had taken a first half lead through Aaron Smith's strike just before the break, having dominated much of the opening period.The home side, fresh from winning 2-1 at leaders Sheffield Wednesday last week, fought back in the second half and levelled through Sam Heathcote's header. He was alert to head home from inside.
