Nottingham Forest will be playing Premier League football next season as they City Ground celebrated with a huge sigh of relief following the win over Arsenal.
Taiwo Awoniyi’s 19th minute goal was enough to earn Steve Cooper ’s men all three points in a game that had an impact on both ends of the table. As well as securing Forest’s Premier League safety, the result also ended Arsenal’s title challenge, handing the trophy to Manchester City for the third season in a row.
Celebrations at the full time whistle were all about Forest though as fans can now sit back and enjoy the final game of the season against Crystal Palace next weekend. It means that the race for survival will see two of Leicester City, Leeds United and Everton join already relegated Southampton in the Championship next season.
