Nottingham Forest remain outside of the relegation zone, following Everton’s loss against Newcastle United on Thursday night.
Eddie Howe's team travelled to a raucous Goodison Park, with Everton looking to pick up the points in order to move out of the bottom three. A win for the Toffees would have moved them back above Forest.
The Reds moved out of the bottom three on Wednesday night after recording a memorable win over Brighton and Hove Albion at the City Ground. 24 hours later, Forest fans were keeping an eye on the game at Goodison Park.
And they would have been cheering every Newcastle goal that went in. Strikes from Callum Wilson (x2), Joelinton and Jacob Murphy gave the Magpies a comfortable 4-1 win.
