Forest have been persevering with an interesting throw-in routine this season - and it resulted in a goal against Southampton on Sunday

Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson has taken to social media to send a message to the fans after their 3-2 win over Southampton.

Nottingham Forest extended their unbeaten run by beating Southampton in key Premier League clash at the City Ground

In the 24-year-old’s absence at the Vitality Stadium, Nuno opted to switch Anthony Elanga to the left and deploy Jota Silva on the right flank. However, the Portuguese conceded post-match that his team had lacked “balance”.

Goals inside the opening 41 minutes from Anderson, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Chris Wood seamed to have put the game beyond the Saints but they hit back in the second half through Jan Bednarek and Paul Onuachu. The visitors then almost snatched an unlikely equaliser with Ola Aina having to clear off the line to deny Bednarek his second.

When journalists have dared to point out Forest’s positive record with injuries this season, Nuno has regularly been quick to point out that he lost Danilo to a broken leg in the first few minutes of the first game of the season — and Sangare before the end of August, when he suffered a serious hamstring problem.

Nottingham Forest's remarkable campaign continued with a 3-2 win over struggling Southampton on Sunday but they had to survive a late onslaught before securing the win to move level on points with second-placed Arsenal in the Premier League standings.
