Lewis Grabban rescued a 2-2 draw for Nottingham Forest after
Championship strugglers Middlesbrough looked set to end their long wait
for a victory at the Riverside Stadium on Monday.
Forest knew a win on Teesside would move them six points behind
second-placed Leeds United in the battle for automatic promotion and
they hit the front courtesy of Ryan Yates’ first-time strike 29 minutes
in.
Boro turned it around with two goals in the space of four minutes
late in the first half, though, Rudy Gestede heading home before Brice
Samba allowed Lewis Wing’s shot to beat him too easily.
Jonathan Woodgate’s side appeared to be climbing out of the
relegation zone with what would have been a first win in 12 matches
across all competitions, but Grabban capitalised on weak goalkeeping
from Aynsley Pears to finish four minutes from time.
