Nottingham Forest edged past Premier League strugglers Southampton with a dramatic 3-2 win at the City Ground, a result that brings them level on points with second-placed Arsenal.
While Forest celebrated a crucial victory, Southampton’s battle for survival grew even grimmer as they remained 10 points adrift of safety.
Forest’s performance was powered by two stunning first-half goals from Elliot Anderson and Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Chris Wood added a third in the second half, marking his 14th goal of the season and seemingly securing the game for the hosts.
However, a late surge by Southampton turned the final moments into a nail-biter.
Jan Bednarek’s guided deflection of Lesley Ugochukwu’s shot cut Forest’s lead, and substitute Paul Onuachu added another in injury time.
The match stretched into 12 nerve-wracking minutes of added time, including a lengthy VAR review that disallowed Nikola Milenkovic’s would-be fourth goal for Forest.
Nottingham Forest’s defense, bolstered by a last-minute goal-line clearance from Ola Aina, held firm under immense pressure.
