Nottingham Forest send 'no days off' message to Leeds United and relegation rivals after big win

Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper says the fight against relegation from the Premier League is not over, but that their 4-3 win over Southampton could be a huge moment.

While Leeds United lost 2-1 to Manchester City on Saturday and relegation rivals Leicester were defeated 5-3 by Fulham on Monday, Forest took full advantage to move up to 16th, three points above the drop zone with three games to play. Those results, coupled with a shock 5-1 win for Everton at Brighton, mean Sam Allardyce's men are now second bottom in the Premier League table.

Just three points seperate four sides scrapping to avoid two relegation places, with Southampton now increasingly adrift at the foot of the table. Leeds and Leicester are level on 30 points, with Everton on 32 and Forest now on 33, with the Whites facing third-placed Newcastle United at Elland Road on Saturday.
