Forest's Cooper delighted at 1-1 draw with Man City

Nottingham Forest and Everton shared the points in an entertaining encounter at The City Ground that leaves Sean Dyche’s Toffees inside the Premier League relegation zone.

An early penalty - given away by Jonjo Shelvey - was firmly despatched by Demarai Gray to put the visitors ahead before Brennan Johnson slotted home a rebounded ball after Jordan Pickford had kept out Morgan Gibbs-White.

Everton regained the lead just before the half hour mark through an Abdoulaye Doucoure header and took a slim advantage into the break.

Forest pushed on in the second home and their bravery and control was rewarded as Brennan Johnson danced inside from the right before lifting a left-footed effort past the Everton goalkeeper to earn his team a share of the points.

Johnson required a bit of treatment after that collision with Godfrey, though fortunately for Forest it appears he will be okay to continue.

Close! McNeil cuts onto his left foot and blasts towards goal from range, though Navas is able to tip it over the crossbar. The former Burnley man had far too much time there.

Shelvey tries to pick out Johnson with a lofted throughball, but he gets too much power on it and Pickford is able to come and gather.

McNeil's clever flick gives Iwobi the ball in a threatening position, but his low cross is blocked and eventually cleared.
