Forest out of bottom three with Ipswich draw
LONDON: Nottingham Forest climbed out of the Premier League relegation zone with a 1-1 draw away to Ipswich on Friday.
Nottingham Forest have climbed out of the relegation zone in the Premier League with a 1-1 draw against Ipswich on Friday. The visitors nearly secured a crucial win, but missed several opportunities at Portman Road. Forest took an early lead in the 13th minute when Neco Williams converted Daniel Munoz's cross for his first goal since April.
Morgan Gibbs-White's effort was saved by Ipswich's goalkeeper Christian Walton, and Leif Davis's last-ditch effort also kept the score 1-1. Despite controlling the game, Forest were undone in the 41st minute when a backpass from Nikola Milenkovic led to Julio Enciso scoring for Ipswich. Referee Thomas Bramall considered awarding a penalty for James McAtee's denial of a goalscoring opportunity, but the VAR recommended a yellow card and a free-kick instead.
The point moved Forest above Coventry and Tottenham into 16th place, but they could still end the weekend back in the relegation zone. Ipswich currently sits ninth in the table.
