Nottingham Forest made it seven wins in a row in all competitions for the first time in 19 years after beating managerless Luton 2-0 in the FA Cup.
Forest added to their six successive Premier League victories with a comfortable success over the Sky Bet Championship side thanks to goals from Ryan Yates and Ramon Sosa.
It meant they matched the run Colin Calderwood’s side posted in October and November 2006 as the feelgood factor continues at the City Ground.
They easily put themselves in the hat for Sunday’s fourth-round draw and they can now turn their attention to Tuesday’s crunch Premier League clash with Liverpool, which could determine whether Forest really are in a title race.
Luton were playing their first game since Rob Edwards’ departure in midweek and never really threatened victory.
With Tuesday’s game in mind, Nuno Espirito Santo made 11 changes but despite the disruption, Forest were quick to find their groove and knocked on the door for an early opener.
They should have been ahead in the 17th minute but Taiwo Awoniyi missed a glaring chance when a long ball fell kindly to him 12 yards out only to drag his shot wide.
