In the end, Nottingham Forest's first-half performance was enough to continue their superb form. A seventh win in eight games keeps them on course for European football next season at the very least.

Nottingham Forest's remarkable campaign continued with a 3-2 win over struggling Southampton on Sunday but they had to survive a late onslaught before securing the win to move level on points with second-placed Arsenal in the Premier League standings.

Nottingham Forest sit third on goal difference after matching Arsenal on 44 points, while Southampton remain on six points, 10 behind 17th-place Wolves after 22 games
