Half-Time Report: Nottingham Forest fight back to take the lead against Bournemouth

Nottingham Forest have come from a goal down to take a 2-1 lead in at half time against Bournemouth at the City Ground.

The Cherries had the lead inside the first three minutes when Andrew Surman hammered in a long-range effort from all of 30 yards.

The visitors' excellent start continued, and Matt Ritchie's effort was deflected behind before Ryan Fraser forced Karl Darlow into a save inside the first 10 minutes.

However, Forest were back in it when Jamaal Lascelles reacted quickest to convert inside the area on 21 minutes as Bournemouth failed to defend a corner properly.

Brett Pitman spurned a decent opportunity for Eddy Howe's side when he flashed a header wide of the goal before the half-hour mark.

With the first half petering out, Henri Lansbury popped up to give the home side the lead with a curling free kick that arched beyond Artur Boruc.
