Two set piece goals, one a penalty from Demarai Gray and the other an Abdoulaye Doucoure header on the end of a free kick saw the Blues earn a point against ...

Johnson with a clear pull back on McNeil went well for Everton as Aurier was bursting forward, Forest dealing easily with the Blues free kick and getting forward with Ayew testing Pickford with a shot that the England keeper tipped just far enough away from Johnson to deny him a hat-trick chance. Everton defended the free kick and with nothing else of any significance coming to fruition, both sides earned a point and probably felt they both served a bit more. McNeil to Coleman and his first time ball over the top for Iwobi was played a bit too strongly but, a good idea from the skipper. Gray and McNeil worked the ball for an early cross that Forest cleared before Onana could get to it and Aurier and Gray exchanged unpleasantries before a throw-in to the home side. Forest won a corner, as a shot on the turn by Shelvey took a deflection off Tarkowski, and duly wasted it. Gray was hurt in an accidental challenge with Colback and gingerly got to his feet and Everton appealed strongly but in vain, for a second penalty as Coleman got behind Colback and he appeared to catch the Everton skipper and send him tumbling to the grass. Forest were trying to impose themselves on the Blues, and more push ‘n shove ensued between Gray and Lodi again, both players seeing yellow cards for their troubles. A harsh call on Iwobi gave Forest another free kick wide left and Everton pulled everyone back to keep Forest out and did so through a combination of Doucoure and Gana Gueye to launch a counter attack that saw Gibbs-White get back to block a shot from Gray on the end of a low cross from Doucoure. Forest smuggled the ball clear as we reached the 40-minute mark and Godfrey halted Johnson in his tracks as the home side did get forward. Demarai Gray placed the ball on the spot and converted high to the left of Navas as the Spaniard went low to his right – One Nil Blues !! Godfrey clattered into Johnson to give the home side their first free kick, Everton complaining about a challenge by Worrall on Pickford that went unpunished. And turning his attention to Sunday’s fixture he noted, “Everton are up next and you need to think about what it takes to succeed against them but, we’re also very clear that we need to look after ourselves because in the end that’s the most important factor of where you end up.

Brennan Johnson struck twice to earn Nottingham Forest a vital 2-2 draw against fellow strugglers Everton in the battle for Premier League survival.

Dyche's men regained the lead in the 29th minute when Doucoure headed past Forest keeper Keylor Navas from close-range after Everton won a series of aerial duels from Pickford's free-kick. Everton responded impressively to that blow and captain Seamus Coleman appealed in vain for a penalty after Jack Colback's challenge sent the defender sprawling. Nottingham (United Kingdom) (AFP) – Brennan Johnson struck twice to earn Nottingham Forest a vital 2-2 draw against fellow strugglers Everton in the battle for Premier League survival.

Brennan Johnson's hot streak has continued as the Nottingham Forest forward scored twice to earn a 2-2 draw with Everton in the Premier League.

Doucoure then headed Everton back in front in the 29th to give his team a halftime lead and something to defend after the break. The home team twice fought back to deny Everton and share the points at the City Ground, with Johnson making it five goals in his last seven league games. NOTTINGHAM, England (AP) — Brennan Johnson's hot streak continued as the Nottingham Forest forward scored twice to earn a 2-2 draw with Everton in the Premier League on Sunday.

Sean Dyche experimented with no strikers against Forest. It was by necessity, but it seemed to work...

The next highest overall was Forest’s Gibbs-White on 10.9km, just ahead of the ageless [Seamus Coleman](https://theathletic.com/football/player/seamus-coleman-AzYEiBc0z7HqMrtB/)’s 10.7km for the visitors. “He is technically very good and he’s stronger than you think, so I was pleased for him — and I was pleased for ‘Douc’. So for his team to score twice without a recognised centre-forward on the pitch is testament to the improvements he has prompted from McNeil and Doucoure, as well as Gray’s lively display. “I wasn’t really bothered if he (Gray) was recognised or not. “There are pleasing signs from what the players are delivering and how they are taking these games on,” said Dyche. [Crystal Palace](https://theathletic.com/football/team/crystal-palace/) 3-0 at Goodison on October 22 — a dismal run of 15 matches in all competitions without doing so, underlining the lack of firepower which has become so damaging. Once again, Everton proved they were up for the fight; both in terms of graft and aggression. He seemed intent on taking the chance handed to him by his manager and was determined not to be out-muscled by Forest’s defenders. Whether their failure to capitalise on all that effort and attacking improvement returns to haunt them will remain to be seen. Gray’s hard pressing and shrewd use of the ball helped the visitors compete. So it felt like time Dyche found a way to get the club’s top goalscorer in this barren season back into the starting line-up having begun those same three matches on the bench. But it was his overall play that helped Everton pose a greater attacking threat than they have managed lately.

Brennan Johnson cancelled out Demarai Gray's penalty in the first half, as well as Abdoulaye Doucoure's header in the second. The brace took Johnson's tally to ...

The draw sees Everton stay in the relegation zone and they remain four points behind Forest, who stay 14th. But it was Johnson who provided the touch of class Forest needed to seize a late leveller and maintain their crucial gap between them and the Merseysiders. Nottingham Forest twice came from behind to rescue what could prove to be a crucial Premier League point after a pulsating 2-2 draw with Everton. It kept Everton in the relegation zone and earned Forest a point that ensured they stay 14th, four points above the line. But Forest couldn't have received the memo because it was Sean Dyche's Toffees who left them gasping as they made a blistering start. The Wales international is enjoying a hot streak as he took his tally to five goals in his last seven Premier League games, with an assist also thrown in. First-half goals from Demarai Gray and Abdoulaye Doucoure had put the Toffees on course for a third win in six games under Sean Dyche at the City Ground. Modern-day local hero Brennan Johnson might just follow in the Forest legend's footsteps one day after his double salvaged a precious point for Steve Cooper's side here. Forest, undefeated at the City Ground in the Premier League since September, proceeded to dominate territorially. The ball fell to him in the box and he took a touch before caressing a delightful shot into the top corner And they had top scorer Johnson to thank for extending their unbeaten league run at the City Ground to nine matches. The brace took Johnson's tally to nine goals in all competitions this season, while five of those were scored in the last four games.
