00:01The Derby player has gone down clutching his face, but meantime play continues.
00:06And Derby have it back with Heenan.
00:08To put it out of play, it was Vasco Bocchis that went down.
00:14I must say that with the naked eye, it was hard to tell whether there was intent on Van Hooydonk's
00:21part.
00:22But looking at that, the elbow did seem to make firm contact with Bocchis' face.
00:31And that being the case, Van Hooydonk is fortunate to escape censure from the referee.
00:38If the atmosphere wasn't hostile enough already, the reason for the Greek defender's departure has caused things to heat up
00:48still further.
00:51What is indisputable is that Graham Barber's view was better than anyone else's in the entire ground.
01:01It looked like he might have been onside, but he's in with a chance.
01:04And it's cleared off the line by Carbonari.
01:18Schnorr.
01:21One shot.
01:23Now Sturridge!
01:25What a very good save by Mark Crossley.
01:29Fully extended for the first time.
01:34Unquestionably.
01:35A fine shot and a super stop.
01:42One shot.
01:44Oh, Gough just tried to obstruct him on more than one occasion and ultimately tripped him.
01:52And he's about to become the fifth Forest player to be booked in this first half.
02:02Admittedly, he is awkward to stop, but Gough's motto seemed to be, if at first you don't succeed, trip, trip,
02:09trip, trip again.
02:15Vahina.
02:16Burton ahead of him.
02:18One shot for arriving in space inside the penalty area.
02:21Space that Edwards cut out, but Sturridge!
02:32a similar scenario to that at the end of
02:36the first half. Fierce strike, good save.
02:42Van Hooydonk, Parler, Rogers is the furthest
02:47advanced for his player and the goalkeeper
02:49has taken him down. Now there were one or two
02:53covering defenders, but Russell Holt had
02:56absolutely no intention of allowing Alan
03:00Rogers to pass him and he's been sent off.
03:06Premeditated and punishable by dismissal.
03:15Friedman and Carton-Palmer
03:17hit the side netting.
03:23No one tracked back with him.
03:28Forrest are going to bring off Pierre Van Hooydonk.
03:32The player who was on strike until November.
03:37Handshake for the referee.
03:41Might be one for the departing figure of Schifferley as he heads on to the pitch, but Van Hooydonk goes
03:49straight down the tunnel with not a glance to his manager.
03:53Palmer left it for Goff who could be caught out here by the speed of one-shot.
03:58Goff. And he was tricked. One-shot by Richard Goff who's already been booked.
04:07And the former Scottish international, 37 at the start of the week, ends the week with a second bookable offence
04:15and becomes the second player today to be sent off.
04:20Goff. One-shot. So difficult to stop.
04:24Goff. Booked on both occasions for halting the Costa Rican illegally.
04:35Oh, nice turn, particularly for a centre-back. He's still going, Carbonari, and he's scored!
04:47Well, if the centre-back's union hold their own goal at the season contest, that might well win it.
04:56Aratio Angol Carbonari, the big Argentine defender, noted for his shooting prowess, but not for footwork like that.
05:07It's a hammer blow to Forrest. It won't actually finish them off, but it's brought them right to the brink.
05:16Chelsea will be just a point behind Arsenal if they beat Wimbledon tomorrow, while Leeds play Liverpool on Monday.
05:22Derby stay seventh, despite picking up three points in the East Midlands derby.
05:26Everton and Blackburn weren't in action this afternoon, but it was a good day for them, as the other teams
05:30at the bottom all lost.
05:32Nottingham Forest's 20th defeat of the season leaves them staring at relegation.
05:36Southampton could be joining them unless their away form improves.
05:39Today was their seventh successive league defeat away from the Dell.
05:42The bad news for Blackburn and Charlton is Everton will move out of the bottom three if they pick up
05:47a point against Coventry at Goodison tomorrow.
