Idrissa Gueye scored with a long-range effort, putting his team in the lead. Meanwhile, Ashley Young survived three penalty appeals, including a challenge on Giovanni Reyna inside the box and a handball from Callum Hudson-Odoi’s cross, both of which were dismissed by VAR in the first half.

Despite appearing to have fouled Hudson-Odoi inside the area, VAR ruled that Young had won the ball. Forest experienced further disappointment as Dwight McNeil scored a long-range shot, securing a crucial three points.

The weekend brought bad news for Forest and Luton, who suffered damaging defeats. Luton was thrashed 5-1 at home by Brentford, while Burnley picked up a vital win, beating bottom side Sheffield United 4-1 at Bramall Lane.

Vincent Kompany’s team has been performing well, with only one loss in their last seven matches in the Premier League. With only five games left, Sheffield United faces a challenging task to avoid relegation with a 10-point gap between them and safety.
