Forest Misfire but Leave Ipswich with Point After Controversial Draw
Nottingham Forest moved out of the Premier League drop zone, while a VAR review spared Issa Diop a red card after a foul on James McAtee.
On Friday, Nottingham Forest climbed out of the English Premier League drop zone after drawing 1-1 with Ipswich Town at Portman Road. Neco Williams scored in the 13th minute before Julio Enciso equalized.
Forest initially took the lead when Daniel Munoz crossed for an unmarked Williams to volley home. A poor back pass from Nikola Milenkovic gifted Ipswich an equalizer four minutes before halftime.
VAR reviewed Issa Diop for a lunge on James McAtee in the 47th minute but officials issued only a yellow card rather than a red. Forest remained frustrated by the decision.
Ipswich climbed to ninth place while Forest remains 16th despite creating second-half chances. Delap missed a gilt-edged opportunity with 16 minutes remaining, leaving manager Oliver Glasner with one league victory from eight fixtures.
Late in the match, Forest lost Williams to a worrying arm injury, further hampering the visitors' push for a winner. Substitute Jack Clarke fired off target in closing moments, ensuring the spoils were shared.
