Nottingham Forest twice came from behind to draw 2-2, as they had to settle for a point against Swansea City.
Victory would have clinched a play-off spot for the hosts, but they had to make do with a stalemate against their visitors, thanks to a Sammy Ameobi brace.
Here’s how Reds reporter Sarah Clapson rated the Forest players at the City Ground.
Brice Samba: Not really a lot he could do about either of the goals and didn’t have too many saves to make aside from that. A loud voice on the pitch. Rating: 7/10
Carl Jenkinson: Had his work cut out as Swansea really utilised their left flank. Grew into the game, though, and started to venture forward more. Generally solid. Rating: 7/10
Tobias Figueiredo: Not his usual calm self. Seemed to lose his head a bit and might well have been lucky to avoid a second booking after a first half yellow left him walking a tightrope. Rating: 6/10
Joe Worrall: Andre Ayew certainly proved a handful, but by and large the centre-back kept him at bay. Read the game well and put in some important challenges. Rating: 7/10
Yuri Ribeiro: Rarely has a bad game does the Portuguese. No disservice to say he was as solid, composed and efficient with the ball as ever. Some lovely passes. Rating: 8/10
Ben Watson: The skipper led from the front and tried to bring a bit of composure when the game got a little heated. Plays such a key role, and doesn’t get a lot wrong. Rating: 8/10
Sammy Ameobi: Two absolute stunners. Twice dug his team out of a hole with a couple of belting individual strikes. A class - and crucial - performance. A shame there wasn’t a full house to give him a standing ovation. Rating: 9/10
Samba Sow: Relished a physical battle in the middle of the park and covered a heck of a lot of ground. Tried to add a bit of impetus going forward, too. Rating: 7/10
Ryan Yates: Can certainly feel hard done by for the penalty given against him. Can’t question his commitment and made a big block in the first half. Rating: 7/10
Nuno Da Costa: Once again showed some delightful touches and pieces of skill. If he can just work on the end product, he’ll be a real handful for opposition defences. Rating: 7/10
Lewis Grabban: You’ll struggle to find a striker who works as hard in the Championship. Didn’t get a chance to add to his tally, but he’ll always give his all. Rating: 7/10
Subs
Tiago Silva (for Sow, 56): Added a bit more of a spark going forward. Showed some neat touches. Rating: 7/10
Michael Dawson (for Figueiredo, 76): Helped to calm things down in the closing stages, ensuring no late drama at that end of the pitch. Rating: 7/10
Joe Lolley (for Da Costa, 76): Good to see him back out there and made some promising runs. Rating: 7/10
Alex Mighten (for Ameobi, 77): Looked really bright and sharp, doing his best to stretch some tired Swansea legs. Rating: 7/10
Adama Diakhaby (for Yates, 88): Didn’t get too long to make an impact, but helped push forward. Rating: 6/10
Subs not used: Smith, Bostock, Darikwa, Johnson.
