When Nottingham Forest were promoted in 2022 with Steve Cooper, club owner Marinakis started signing at a wild pace. Chaos reigned on and off the match arena, but in the third season, the club is in a position that the supporters did not dare to dream of and no one else on the ball island thought would be possible. At the beginning of January, the Fulham captain was asked about Forest’s chances of going all the way to a Champions League ticket. The answer was that Forest will sink like a stone in the table in the second half. The Fulham captain should now make a phone call to Pep Guardiola.
Because on Saturday, Nottingham Forest, with the fox Nuno Santo at the helm, sent Manchester City out of the small City Ground (capacity like Ullevål) with a loss.
Both clubs are fighting for a Champions League ticket in the Premier League table. After a tame first half where the two teams waited for their opportunity, it came to life in the second half.
Callum Hudson-Odoi got loose on the right wing in the 83rd minute and sent the ball beautifully into the post. The goal that turned out to be the match-winner for Forest.
With this, Nottingham Forest took three more points, retains 3rd place in the Premier League and increased the gap to City of fourth to 4 points.
There is absolutely nothing to suggest that Nuno Santo and the Nottingham Forest players will stumble in the last ten games.
Rewind to last season, Nottingham Forest finished six points above the relegation zone. This one, Forest concludes as the biggest surprise in the Premier League – with what looks like a Champions League ticket in hand.
