Everton's valiant display at the City Ground on Sunday afternoon was not enough to lift them out of the Premier League relegation zone as Nottingham Forest twice came from behind to salvage a 2-2 draw.
Demarai Gray handed the Blues the lead early in the first half with just a third goal of the Sean Dyche era before Brennan Johnson swiftly made amends at the other end as he drew his side level. Although a first Premier League goal of the season for Abdoulaye Doucoure looked like it would hand Dyche's side a hugely deserved three points, lightning struck twice as Johnson ensured his side would earn a share of the points with his second of the game 13 minutes from time.
For Everton, the point moves them up to 18th in the standings and leaves them trailing 17th-place Leeds United on goal difference. While Southampton and Bournemouth, the two sides propping up the table, have Dyche's side looking over their shoulders.
