AFC Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Bournemouth 1-1 Nottingham Forest: Sam Surridge snatches draw for Forest after Jaidon Anthony’s opener
Nottingham Forest’s Sam Surridge fired a late equaliser to earn his side a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth as the south-coast team dropped into the relegation zone despite ending a four-match losing run in the Premier League.
Forest started strongly but Bournemouth struck first through Jaidon Anthony after winger Dango Ouattara set up the goal in the 28th minute with a bit of brilliance on his league debut.
Ouattara, signed from Lorient earlier this week, shook off a couple of defenders on the right wing before squaring the ball to Anthony, who steered a low shot past goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey to net Bournemouth’s first league goal since November.
Forest continued to threaten after the break and their pressure finally paid off in the 83rd minute when Surridge slid in at the far post to meet a Brennan Johnson cross and score against his former team. The draw takes Forest’s unbeaten run to four league games

Substitute Surridge scored his first Premier League goal against his former club to rescue a draw against Bournemouth. Yates thought he had given Forest an early lead when he knocked in Boly’s header across goal, but it was disallowed after a VAR check with the Wolves defender in an offside position. Moore then headed over for Bournemouth before Anthony broke the deadlock. Racing onto Ouattara’s low cross, the winger got ahead of Worrall before sliding his shot into the bottom corner. They could have had a second before the break, but Moore’s effort was saved by compatriot Hennessey, with Zemura’s rebound cleared off the line. After the break, Neto denied Johnson with a low stop before Surridge scored the equaliser. Johnson was the provider, flashing the ball across the box with the striker ready to tap it in from close range. After a VAR check for a possible offside, the goal was given.
