(Premier League 2023/2024): Highlights Bournemouth - Nottingham Forest

With a one-metre langer, Gibbs White and Hudson-Odoi, that's a very strong front four for an away game. I mean, I look at both front fours actually and think both front fours are very similar. They've got three tricky players in behind, a big striker up top, and if both those four today are better than the back fours they're facing, it could be a lot of goals. Well, Forrest's new goalkeeper will certainly be hoping there isn't at one end. Matt Sells takes to the field just behind today's captain, Ryan Yates, as he prepares to make his Forrest debut, coming back to England, having had a spell previously in his career at Newcastle United. And he's one of six changes, as I say, in the Forrest starting line-up today. Also in, Taiwoa Wanyi, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Anthony Alanga, so it is very much a new look front... Well, three of the front four anyway, with Gibbs White in there as well. Also in... To the ball, and that was mentioned, it was won by Yates, but out for a corner. It is from the left-hand side for Bournemouth, in towards the near post and headed in! It's an early goal for Bournemouth, Sinisterra celebrates as it's floated in towards the near post. It's taken them five minutes in which Forrest have barely got out of their own half, and Bournemouth's fast start is rewarded. Corner floated in towards that near post area, Christie, the Scotsman, gets it back again from Cook, but then has his pocket picked by Dominguez, and Dominguez feeds it through inside left channel for Wanyi, Wanyi skips away from his man into the penalty area and shoots straight at the goalkeeper at the near post. Clean pair of heels from Wanyi, shown to Marcos Sanessi, beat him, all ends up, Williams runs over it, and Gibbs White sends it towards the back edge of the penalty area, looking for Murillo, who wins the header, it goes into the six-yard box, Yates sweeps it towards goal, good save by Neto. I don't think Yates completely got hold of it, left-footed as he tried to turn it towards goal. 15 yards into the Bournemouth half. You'd imagine that's what would try and hit again, like last time. Right-hand side, sent towards Murillo, back edge of the penalty area, comes down for Murillo in between three, but he couldn't quite get hold of it, well won by Hudson-Odoi, who's on the edge of the box, and curls the header into the corner! Hudson-Odoi, just where he wants it, edge of the box, on his right foot, curls it in, and Forrest are level at 1-1. They've been threatening, they've had the chances, after a really slow start, falling behind 1-0, and now after Murillo battles at the back edge of the penalty area, the ball breaks for Hudson-Odoi. Free kick, and that's not bad. Over the top towards Omar Bamadeli, and gets goal side, but couldn't bring it down. He'd got goal side of all of them, Omar Bamadeli, it looked like his first touch was good, but then it sort of reared up at him, and I think it's caught his knee off the first touch, and his second touch bobbles away from him. It was a lovely piece of play, lovely pass, good timed run, well with Omar Bamadeli. He rolls it square for Murillo, Murillo stabs it forward, lovely ball into the penalty area for Nuno, it appeared goal side, but then again they quickly surround him, and he sees the ball nicked away from him, cleared out to the left wing, picked up by Hudson-Odoi, Hudson-Odoi, little ball infield towards Nuno, hits the byline, sends it across, too high for everybody, comes out for Nico Williams, back edge of the penalty area, he tries to cross, and that goes behind for a goal kick. Lloyd Kelly was back defending to get it clear. And here come Bournemouth again, this is Scott turning it to his left for Sinisterra, he's having a run into the penalty area, goes the Colombian, hits the byline, and it's a double ricochet off Sinisterra, and Forrest get a goal kick. I don't think I've seen many people this year handle Solanke with ease, but Murillo has just dealt with him today really well, Dan the Channel's got there first, For the home side, 1-1 the score, coming up to 28 minutes of the second half, Tavernier takes it, in swinging on the Bamadeli, heads it out from the middle of his six-yard box, and out for another Bournemouth corner. On a knife edge on the south coast, in the sunshine now, blue sky above, and another corner for Tavernier to take. Crowded six-yard box, very few players outside the six-yard box on the whole pitch, in it goes towards the back post, there's a touch I think from Sells, and there was a foul also, and a free kick for Forrest, Yates went down back post, Sells may have been fouled as well as he was backpedalling towards the back post where that corner was aimed, he got a punch to it, and then at the back post, after Sells got a touch, he had to wrestle his man out the way, and then Yates and Zabani were trying to get to it at the back stick, finds the feet of Billing, Billing turning, trying to play a one-two, loose pass, well won by Senodoy in the tackle, oh, Billing then just hacks at him, Billing has just kicked him. Is that not a red card? I mean, that's violent conduct, isn't it? Yes, exactly. Yes, it's a red card, Billing's gone. It's not a surprise at all, it's an absolute hack from Philip Billing, as Hudson-Odoi was away from him, and it's been seen as violent conduct by Rebecca Welsh, and Billing at six foot four or whatever now, towering over the official to plead his case, but the red card has already been shown. I mean, he's clearly gone past him, and he's just kicked out at him, because it's the only way to stop him. His studs are up.
