Nuno Espirito Santo quick to credit Southampton after Forest hold on for win Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo credited Southampton after his high-flying side survived a late fightback to claim a 3-2 win at the City Ground.
But Jan Bednarek got Southampton back into the contest and after Forest saw a goal ruled out by VAR for offside, Paul Onuachu grabbed the visitors’ second at the start of 12 minutes of stoppage time.
Ola Aina had to deny Bednarek on the line to heroically preserve three points for Forest, and Nuno admitted no team in the Premier League can be underestimated.
Credit to Southampton, we speak about the game after but the way they came and created so many problems and situations, I credit them a lot.
Elliot Anderson and Callum Hudson-Odoi produced high-quality strikes before Chris Wood nodded in a third to seemingly put Forest out of sight at half-time.
