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

CLOSE! Fantastic play from Moore. Holding the ball up, he passes it through the legs of Worrall down the left to Anthony. Rushing forward, he waits before playing a short pass to Zemura. Overlapping the winger, his cross looks to be going straight to Ouattara, but Lodi is there to poke it behind.

Zemura sends a long pass towards Moore, but the striker is offside. Moore appreciates his attempt, sticking his thumb up at the left-back.

Johnson does brilliantly down the right, getting the ball on the wing before sending a cross low across the box. Forest players rush forwards with Wood going past it. If he held his run, he would have had a simple finish in the middle of the box.
