Henri Lansbury nicks late point for Forest

Henri Lansbury's late equaliser rescued a point for Nottingham Forest as they came from behind to draw 2-2 with Aston Villa in the Championship on Sunday.

Forest opened the scoring at Villa Park in the second half following a long-range strike from Apostolos Vellios that flew past Mark Bunn and into the back of the net.

Ross McCormack soon drew Villa level in the 72nd minute after slotting past Vladimir Stojkovic from close range, before Rudy Gestede then turned the game on its head two minutes later as he fired home from inside the box.

However, with the clock ticking down there was still time for Lansbury to pull the visitors level as he finished off a move started by Hildeberto Pereira, who immediately saw red after picking up a second yellow card for celebrating with away fans.
