PREMIER LEAGUE : SATURDAY – NOTTINGHAM FOREST VS BOURNEMOUTH – 17/08/2024

THERE WAS A WORRYING START TO THE NOTTINGHAM FOREST VS BOURNEMOUTH MATCH YESTERDAY, AS DANILO AND SEMENYO HAD AN ACCIDENTAL COMING-TOGETHER, LEAVING BOTH MEN ON THE GROUND, WITH DANILO LOOKING LIKE HE HAD A DISLOCATED ANKLE. (WE WISH HIM ALL THE BEST FOR A FULL AND SPEEDY RECOVERY, AND WILL PROVIDE AN UPDATE AS TO HIS CONDITION A.S.A.P.) THIS SHOOK EVERYONE AND A LONG DELAY TOOK PLACE WHILST THE MEDICS ATTENDED DANILO, WITH THE CROWD ON ALL SIDES APPLAUDING WHEN DANILO WAS STRETCHERED OFF WITH HIS THUMB IN THE AIR!

NOTTINGHAM FOREST VS BOURNEMOUTH

BOTH TEAMS ENCOURAGED EACH OTHER TO REFOCUS AND CONTINUE AFTERWARDS (WITH SEMENYO RECEIVING MUCH ENCOURAGEMENT AND SUPPORT ESPECIALLY) AND THEN DANILO WAS REPLACED BY RYAN YATES, WITH YATES WASTING NO TIME IN MAKING HIS INJURED TEAM-MATE PROUD, BY STRIKING AT CLOSE-RANGE, QUICK-SHARP, BUT HIS ATTEMPT WAS SAVED BY NETO ONLY TO BOUNCE RIGHT INTO CHRIS WOOD’S PATH FOR HIM TO CONVERT AND SCORE AT 23 MINS! THEN, OUATTARA LOOKED LIKE HE HAD BEEN SUCCESSFUL SHORTLY AFTERWARDS WITH A STUPENDOUS GOAL, (BUT IT WAS DEEMED OFFSIDE BY VAR DURING THE BUILD-UP!) THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 14 SHOTS FOR NOTTINGHAM FOREST WITH 8 SHOTS ON TARGET, AND 13 SHOTS WITH 4 ON TARGET FOR BOURNEMOUTH THROUGHOUT THE MATCH, SO IT WAS ALL-ACTION STUFF, BUT IT WAS IN THE 86TH MINUTE THAT ANTOINE SEMENYO EQUALISED, MEANING THAT THE MATCH ENDED IN AN EXCITING 1 – 1 DRAW!
