Nottingham Forest climbed out of the relegation zone with a 4-3 win, while their opponents Southampton's route to survival is now almost impossible.
Forest climbed out of the bottom three thanks to Taiwo Awoniyi’s brace, Morgan Gibbs-White’s penalty and Danilo’s brilliant team goal to give realistic hope that they can avoid the drop on their first season back in the top tier for 23 years.
It was a thrilling end-to-end encounter at the City Ground that completed a bumper Bank Holiday goals bonanza as the 21 goals scored on Monday are a Premier League record for a three-game matchday. The first came in the 18th minute after a devastating attack at speed, where after a quick free-kick, Danilo’s long ball set Brennan Johnson free on the right and his first-time cross was perfect for Awoniyi to fire home from 10 yards out.
There were a few dicey moments as Saints pushed for a leveller, but Forest crucially restored their two-goal lead just before the break. Southampton knew they were in the last-chance saloon and came out firing, reducing the arrears in the 51st minute.
