It was a wonderful weekend for Nottingham Forest supporters, who went out and secured a huge three 4-3 win against against Southampton off the back of the coronation of King Charles III.
The clash at The City Ground was the final game of an eventful three days which saw a boat load of goals pile in on bank holiday Monday.
Back-to-back home triumphs have seen Forest leap up to 16th in the table and two points clear of the drop zone after Leicester were thumped 5-3 by Fulham. While there’s still plenty of work for Cooper and his side to do, Monday’s results massively bolstered their chances of survival.
