Nottingham Forest moved off the bottom of the Premier League table with a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Aston Villa at the City Ground.
Emmanuel Dennis’ early header had given Steve Cooper’s side the lead but Ashley Young’s stunning strike soon levelled things up. Villa had the better of a game short on quality but could not find their first away win of the season as Forest ended a run of five defeats.
The point is enough to lift Forest back above Leicester, while Steven Gerrard’s side remain in 16th having been unable to secure the win that would have taken them ninth.
