Nottingham Forest’s promotion to the Premier League, along with Leeds United’s final day survival would have pleased Sky Sports’ pundit Gary Neville if his comments earlier this month are anything to go by.
Forest sealed their place back in the top division for the first time in 23 years in the play-off final on Sunday. A 1-0 win over Huddersfield, thanks to a Levi Colwill own goal, started celebrations both at Wembley Stadium and in Nottingham.
Forest did survive two penalty shouts during the game, with Jon Moss backed up by VAR over two claims from the Terriers as they looked to get back in the game in the second half. The final was set up thanks to a penalty shootout win over Sheffield United in the semi-final.
