Bournemouth salvage late draw at Forest

NOTTINGHAM, England :Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo rescued a point for his side with a late equaliser as they drew 1-1 at Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday.

Forest took the lead in the 23rd minute when defensive midfielder Ryan Yates' close-range shot was parried by goalkeeper Neto and Chris Wood reacted quickly to slot the ball home.

The hosts looked comfortable but Bournemouth equalised in the 86th minute when Semenyo smashed the ball in from close range.

Dango Ouattara thought he had equalised for Bournemouth from a corner in the first half, but the goal was disallowed after Video Assistant Referee (VAR) confirmed Lewis Cook was offside in the build-up.

Forest had created a host of other chances to double their lead but lacked quality in the final third. Morgan Gibbs-White looked lively and nearly put Forest ahead in the dying moments with a right-footed shot.

Bournemouth, who were without last season's top-scorer Dominic Solanke after he joined Tottenham Hotspur last week, failed to test Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels for much of the game.

Forest's Brazilian midfielder Danilo was carried off on a stretcher 10 minutes into the game with what appeared to be a serious injury following a collision with Semenyo.
