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

WIDE! Zemura overlaps Anthony, receiving a throughball before going past Aurier. He dinks a cross onto the head of Christie, but he heads his effort wide.

Cheers from the home fans. Forest have men forward with Aurier on the ball. The former Tottenham man tries to play a short pass to Gibbs-White, but he plays it off the pitch.

Gibbs-White's corner is punched away by Neto. Freuler runs towards it, with his low effort blocked.

Johnson collects the ball on the right, moving inside the box before driving it towards the near post. Neto pushes it behind with Gibbs-White unimpressed in the middle. He thinks Johnson should have crossed the ball with options in the middle.

On the edge of the box, Ouattara moves inside before curling his effort well over.
