    This is like a basketball match, it's end-to-end but with good football.

    You'd think there was only ten minutes left with the way these teams are playing!

    Nottingham Forest 1-2 Everton

    Forest carelessly give the ball away and Everton are on the attack.

    It ends in a corner won after great work by Dwight McNeil.

    The travelling Toffees fans roar their approval.

    It's all Forest but it's about what you do with the ball in the final third and that's not working.

    Full credit to Everton for their defending too.

    Nottingham Forest 1-2 Everton

    This will be a HUGE win for Everton if they can get over the line. They lost their previous three away games without scoring. They've finally shown some character at the City Ground.

    Nottingham Forest 1-2 Everton

    Too easy for Jordan Pickford and Everton. There are several red shirts waiting for the delivery inside the box but it's too close to the keeper who gathers comfortably.

  8. Postpublished at 15:24 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March 2023

    Nottingham Forest 1-2 Everton

    Jesse Lingard is on the Forest bench. At what point does Steve Cooper turn to him? The hosts haven't created too much this half.

  9. Postpublished at 15:21 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March 2023

    Nottingham Forest 1-2 Everton

    Forest win a free-kick and Alex Iwobi tosses the ball away so they cannot take it quickly. He's dicing with a yellow.

    Whatever Steve Cooper has said to them at half-time is working because they've come out better.

    But Everton are also defending well so this is going to be a good second-half.

    Nottingham Forest 1-2 Everton

    Idrissa Gueye is getting treatment after a challenge involving Morgan Gibbs-White who is telling his opponent to get up.

    This is blood and thunder. Two fully committed teams fighting to stay in the Premier League.

    He is late and it's a yellow card but play on and play the advantage!

    I don't think there's any arguing needed, it's the right decision.

    Six yellows dished out so far. Still more than half an hour left.

    This is turning into a right scrap, really itty-bitty with no flow and it will suit Everton just fine.

  15. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:15 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March 2023

    Nottingham Forest 1-2 Everton

    Yellow cards everywhere!

    This is really tetchy. Referee John Brooks needs eyes in the back of his head.

    Renan Lodi and Demarai Gray are cautioned for another heated exchange. Then James Tarkowski is booked for a late challenge.

    I can’t remember a season where in March no team was cut adrift at the bottom and it is genuinely any 3 from 9. We can look forward to more games like this - low key on quality but great entertainment.

    Is this going to stay 11 v 11? Not at this rate. Both teams are PUMPED.

    If you don't see this passion on the pitch then you shouldn't bother playing football. All players will want to stay playing in the Premier League.

  19. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:11 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March 2023

    More bruising challenges and another coming together between both sets of players. Yellow cards are shown to Morgan Gibbs-White and Dwight McNeil.

    Now Brennan Johnson is arguing with the one of the officials after Everton win a free-kick. The TV cameras zoom in on Steve Cooper who is in the ear of the fourth official.

    This is simmering.
