The pressure was on Nottingham Forest on Monday night. The stakes were high.
The Reds knew it was arguably a must-win game against Southampton. And as one which captured wider attention - even before a thrilling encounter had got going - it came under exactly the kind of spotlight you’d expect for a match between two sides in the thick of the relegation fight.
