An unlikely ambition is one step closer to being realised after a night where Forest showed they can mix it with the very best

Premier League leaders Liverpool got everything they wanted (and a bit more) from top-4 hopefuls Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, as the Reds erased an early deficit en route to a 1-1 draw at the City Ground.

Nottingham Forest demonstrated why they are competing at the top end of the Premier League this season by holding leaders Liverpool at the City Ground. The result moved Forest at least temporarily up to second place, where they remain six points behind their opponents, albeit having played a match more.
