AFC BournemouthvsNottingham Forest

BOU 1/NFO 1

PeacockThe City Ground
Things to say

Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth played out a 1-1 draw at the City Ground.

01
opener
Yeah, Forest and Bournemouth ended up sharing the points, 1-1 at the City Ground. Felt like a game both sides will think they should've nicked. Honest day's work, nothing more.
02
key player
Junior Kroupi was a menace up top for Bournemouth — six shots on his own and still couldn't bury one. Brilliant movement, shambolic finishing.
03
hot take
Forest are sleepwalking into the back half of the table. A point at home against Bournemouth isn't the result of a side with any real ambition left.
04
deep cut
Elliot Anderson racked up 39 accurate passes from midfield — he's quietly been the one actually dictating tempo for Forest all spring.
05
exit
Anyway, on to the next one — be curious to see if Forest can find a goal away from home next week.
The recap

Forest and Bournemouth played out a 1-1 draw at the City Ground and honestly it had the makings of a proper end-of-season slog. Junior Kroupi was the liveliest bloke on the pitch with six shots for the Cherries, but he couldn't find the killer touch when it mattered.

Elliot Anderson ran the show in midfield for Forest with 39 accurate passes, and both keepers chipped in three saves apiece to keep it level. A point each, nobody covered in glory, on to the next one.
