McNeil then has time to have an effort but sends it wildly over. It's a brilliant atmosphere at the City Ground with fans being entertained by a brilliant end-to-end game here. It eventually breaks to Keane whose effort is blocked. From the controversial free-kick, Pickford's long ball is eventually flicked on to Keane whose header finds Doucore. Or will there be some early goals? Forest get the ball in the box and it looked as though Everton were in trouble but the referee blows up for a foul on Jordan Pickford by Joe Worrall. Gray whips it in to the back post but Doucoure was unable to get the ball back across goal. The ball fell to Doucoure who tried to get his feet sorted to get a strike away but Forest got bodies in the way.

It wasn’t even close, and perhaps Ten Hag’s obvious decision to call it a day with his 58th minute subs of Scott McTominay and Alejandro Garnacho for Wout Weghorst and Fred just wheezed its way through the squad. Marcel Sabitzer – 77′ on for Casemiro: 5 – Tried to put his foot on the ball. Stefan Bajcetic – 78′ on for Henderson: 6 – Got on the ball and started attacks. Even when Nottingham Forest win, as they have on six occasions this season, one simple fact remains: they don’t score enough goals (18 on the season, in 24 games). Jonjo Shelvey clips Dwight McNeil in the box and it is a penalty kick to Everton. The former Leicester player gives it some to the Forest fans behind the goal. Can Forest fight back in the second half? Just when it looked like Forest were on top, Everton go back in front. Forest have made plenty of changes but they have yet to get going in the second half. A very combative start to the second half. Brennan Johnson with a lovely finish for his second of the game and Forest are level with just over 10 minutes to go. Dyche is getting Everton back to where they should be but there’s still a lack of confidence as they had this win within their grasp but let it slip.

Brennan Johnson twice levelled the scores for Nottingham Forest to earn a vital point against relegation rivals Everton.

[Everton](https://www.theguardian.com/football/everton) enjoy all the possession in the first minute of so to keep the City Ground quiet. They are both a threat but if Forest win the first header, it leaves a big gap in midfield. 42 mins: Godfrey, who has had a tough time, goes into the book for taking down Johnson on the right touchline. Gibbs-White is their most dangerous player but Shelvey seems to be playing in the space he often occupies and he is more keen to play in behind sooner. 57 mins: Now Tarkowski is booked for an elite-level lunge on the touchline on Lodi in an attempt to stop a counter. 49 mins: Wood is very much a man aiming to come deep to flick the ball on. With Godfrey on a booking, the referee would have had a decision to make. “This is the sort of game you have to feel sorry for the ref,” says Samuel Campbell. 63 mins: Coleman bundles over Freuler in the corner and there is another split second of pushing. 80 mins: Forest break but Johnson pulls back McNeil to take him out of the game. He fires his shot across Pickford who gets a strong wrist to the ball and he sees it go away from red shirts. Another yellow is shown on a busy day for the referee.
