Taiwo Awoniyi’s first-half goal condemned us to a second consecutive defeat, and officially ended our title challenge.
On a frustrating afternoon at the City Ground, we were unable to break down a resolute home side, despite dominating possession.
The result means we can no longer catch Manchester City at the top of the table, with just one match remaining.
Forest fire first
The hosts, knowing that three points would guarantee Premier League survival in their first season back in the top-flight, started with a huge intensity. Their early throw-ins were sent into the penalty area and our remodelled defence had to withstand some early pressure.
