Story summary

Nottingham Forest climbed out of the Premier League's relegation zone after drawing 1-1 with Ipswich at Portman Road on Friday, October 23, 2026. In a blustery match, Neco Williams scored for Forest in the first half with a guided volley from a high cross by Daniel Munoz, while Julio Enciso equalized shortly before halftime. Despite dominating play in the second half, Forest failed to capitalize on several chances and remained frustrated by their winless run. The match also featured controversy when defender Issa Diop was only given a yellow card for bringing down James McAtee as he approached the goal, despite video review suggesting it should have been a red card. With this result, Nottingham Forest's poor form continues, having now gone three matches without a victory, though they narrowly avoid relegation on goal difference.
