In a crucial Premier League relegation clash at Goodison Park, Everton secured a vital 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest. The only goal of the match came from Idrissa Gueye, who scored from 20 yards out, marking his first goal since February 2017. This was Gueye's second goal from his 100th shot from outside the box in his Premier League career. The win has significant implications for Everton as it moves them clear of the relegation zone. The match was described as tense, with both teams struggling to dominate play. Key moments included a notable save by Everton's goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, denying Chris Wood a scoring opportunity.

We like the footy because even the games between the teams at the bottom of the table matter. But also why do they have our golden boy in jail at Nottingham Forest
The save ๐คฏ The celebration from Jordan Pickford! ๐ https://t.co/OCUjZho11o
Absolutely vital save from Pickford, then Tarkowski blocks the follow up. Forest getting most of their joy down the Everton right so far. Acres of space for Williams
A HUGE SAVE FROM PICKFORD TO DENY CHRIS WOOD!
Big save there from Pickford, to deny Wood at the far post. Brave goalkeeping #NFFC
Scramble at the back post and Forest look certain to score but Pickford and Tarkowski twice deny Chris Wood

GOAL... Everton take the lead with a low shot that bobbles 22 yards across the turf and into the bottom corner. A precise finish to be fair. Sels could not get across to it #NFFC

The kind way of describing this game would be cagey. The harsher word would be scrappy. Neither team getting hold of it. A few passes, give away possession and repeat. Although #NFFC have just had a threatening moment through Hudson-Odoi, who saw his low shot saved.

Ball breaks to Mykolenko but he shanks a shot high and wide. That sums up the first 20 mins from an attacking perspective for Everton
