Nottingham Forest midfielder Lewis McGugan insists Saturday's opener in the FA Cup first round clash at Lincoln belongs to him, not Junior Agogo.

Nottingham Forest midfielder Lewis McGugan insists Saturday's opener in the FA Cup first round clash at Lincoln belongs to him, not Junior Agogo. The 18-year-old was credited with giving Colin Calderwood's side the lead in the 1-1 draw with the Imps, finding the net after Ghana international Agogo's initial header had been blocked. Agogo, the Reds' leading scorer this season, believes his header had already crossed the line but McGugan thinks otherwise. He told the club's official website: "Junior is doing his utmost to claim it but the linesman and referee didn't give it until I put it in, so therefore I think I've got to take it. "The fact that my goal appeared on Match of the Day made it that much more special to me - it's just a shame we didn't go on to win the game and finish the job off."
