Postmatch editorial
Neither side managed to pull the match clear
The final score was Nottingham Forest 1-1 AFC Bournemouth. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Morgan Gibbs-White put the first mark on the match 34', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Nottingham Forest led Corners 6-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Nottingham Forest also shaded Shots on target 5-4.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made AFC Bournemouth the favourite at 51.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
