Nottingham Forest 3-2 Southampton: Hosts extend unbeaten run to nine games after Nuno Espirito Santo's side hold off Saints' second-half rally

Daily Mail  

When Anthony Taylor blew his whistle to signal full-time, Nuno Espirito Santo was not the only one in Forest colours who looked like he needed a lie down. Elliot Anderson, Callum Hudson-Odoi – who later went off injured – and Chris Wood found the target in the first half, with Jan Bednarek’s freakish goal and Paul Onuachu’s late header keeping Ivan Juric’s men interested until the end. Rather than celebrate Anderson’s 11th-minute strike, Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo beckoned midfielder Nicolas Dominguez to the touchline to explain how he wanted the Argentine to improve his positioning out of possession. Nottingham Forest fended off Southampton to win 3-2 at the City Ground on Sunday afternoon Forest remain third and are well-positioned to qualify for next season's Champions League Chris Wood has scored 15 goals in the Premier League this season - his best campaign ever When he lost possession just inside the Saints half, Morgan Gibbs-White did not throw his arms in the air but raced back and retrieved the ball from Cameron Archer. Some people call this the ‘ugly side of the game’ yet in its own way, it is just as easy on the eye as Gibbs-White controlling a dropping ball first time, or Anderson and Hudson-Odoi finding the corner from outside the box, as they did for Forest’s first two goals.
