Nottingham Forest's Champions League qualification hopes were hit by a 1-0 defeat against Everton after Abdoulaye Doucoure scored a 94th-minute winner at the City Ground on Saturday.
Everton forward Dwight McNeil won possession in midfield after sloppy play from Forest, which summed up their dismal afternoon, and his pass rather fortuitously fell to Doucoure, who swept his shot past goalkeeper Matz Sels.
Third-placed Forest stay on 57 points from 32 games, four points clear of Chelsea in sixth position, though the London side have a game in hand. The top five qualify for the Champions League. Everton move up to 14th with 38 points from 32 matches.
Forest have been excellent at home this season but failed to create too many alarms in the Everton defence and it was the visitors who left it late but deservedly got the three points.
