Nottingham Forest 4-3 Southampton: Nottingham Forest are still in the survival race
Nottingham Forest 4-3 Southampton: Nottingham Forest’s race to survival in the English Premier League is still on as they won their last match against Southampton F.C. by a 4-3 scoreline. Both teams were in the relegation zone, and it was a must-win for both of them to stay in the English Premier League for the next season.
Nottingham just edged past the Saint’s side in a relegation battle, the first goal scored by Nottingham Forest’s forward Taiwo Awoniyi when Brenan Johnson broke down from the right side and gave a low pass assist to Awoniyi in the 18th minute of the game.
Taiwo Awoniyi once again scored for the Nottingham team in the 21st minute of the game when he scored a powerful volley on the turn. Soon after, Southampton’s striker Carlos Alcaraz scored the goal on a counter-attack, and S. Armstrong gave the assist.
In the 42nd minute, Maitland-Niles tackled Johnson inside the penalty box to give Nottingham Forest a Penalty Kick, which Morgan Gibbs-White converted to take his team to a 3-1 scoreline. After half-time, Southampton brought 1 goal by in the 51st minute of the match by Lyanco, who headed an inswinger ball from James Ward-Prowse’s free kick.
Danilo was the one who increased the score line of the Nottingham side to 4-2 in the 73rd minute when Danilo dos Santos de Oliveira scored the goal to give the two-goal advantage to Forest’s side. However, in the end, in the 96th minute of the match, James Ward-Prowse converted a penalty kick in a gaol to end the score line of the match to 4-3.
Nottingham Forest got the most important 3 points to stay in the English Premier League for the next season, but still, they need to play 3 more matches, and in those 3 need to win at least two not to get relegated in the next season. Their next two fixtures are against the London side team Chelsea F.C. and Arsenal F.C. It is going to be hard for them to take the 6 points out of 9 in their next 3 matches, for Southampton F.C. it is already over for them, and just unrealistic chances to keep themselves in the English Premier League next season.
