Nottingham Forest is close to salvation in the Premier League
The success of Steve Cooper's team gives them a big advantage over the rest of the contenders, after the 4-3 win over Southampton
With Greek shipowner Vangelis Marinakis in attendance at the packed and pulsating City Ground, Nottingham Forest triumphed 4-3 against bottom-of-the-table Southampton. It thus escaped +3 from the relegation zone and was filled with optimism in view of the difficult schedule ahead of it, in the last three matches of this year's Premier League (with Chelsea away, Arsenal in and Crystal Palace away).
On the other hand, Southampton are now with... a leg and a half in the Championship, since they are -8 from salvation.
The success of Steve Cooper's team gives them a big advantage over the rest of the contenders, after the 4-3 win over Southampton, who from the new season (essentially) will compete in the Championship.
So three...turns before the final, against the bottom of the Premier League standings, Forest got what they wanted. Even if she "struck the hearts" of her fans. While he led 3-1, and now, he holds the luck in his hands, since after the other results he left behind, three other teams fighting for the same goal (four with Southampton who had no chance to overtake anyway ).
The "Saints" effectively said goodbye to England's top division after the defeat. Even the draw did not help them and they were defeated for the second time in the league by Nottingham, while they remained for 10 consecutive matches without a "three point" (0-3-7).
It is characteristic that Forest's only away win this season is the one at St Mary's against Southampton.
The goals for the home team were scored by: Awoniyi 18', 21', Gibbs-White 44' penalty, Danilo 73' and for the visitors Alcaraz 25', Lyanco 51', Ward Prowse 90+6'.
With the end of the 35th game of the Premier League and the impressive victories of Everton and Nottingham, the "battle" of the eve is expected to develop into a thriller.
Everton put in their best performance of the season with an impressive 5-1 away win at Brighton.
At the same time, we also had Fulham's emphatic 5-3 win over Leicester, which again put the "foxes" in the relegation zone.

Nottingham Forest now have 33 points, with Everton one fewer and Leicester level on 30 with Leeds who fought back but lost 2-1 in Manchester to City.
