15/11/2008 - Bristol City 2 Nottingham Forest 2

An injury-time penalty save from Lee Camp ensured Nottingham Forest extended their unbeaten run to four games at Bristol City this afternoon.

 Luke Chambers was harshly adjudged to have fouled Stern John but Camp produced a superb save to deny Michael McIndoe from the spot.
It came after Liam Fontaine had equalised for City ten minutes from time.
Forest twice had the lead only to be pegged back on both occasions.
Joe Garner opened his Reds account early in the first half at Ashton Gate to give Forest the lead before Marvin Elliott’s superb strike equalised before half time.
Nathan Tyson restored the lead straight after the break only for Fontaine to level on 80 minutes.
City missed a glorious chance when Dele Adebola headed behind the Forest defence for Noble to break clear.
And when his cross caught Luke Chambers flat footed, it fell to Michael McIndoe at the back post but somehow he pulled his shot across goal and wide from just six yards out.
He was made to pay as Forest took the lead on 11 minutes.
Chris Cohen played Nathan Tyson the ball down the left and the striker used his pace to beat Liam Fontaine before unselfishly pulling the ball back from the byline.
It picked out Garner and from close range the former Carlisle man oozed confidence to take it away from his marker and curl beyond Adriano Basso into the corner.
Adebola used his strength to hold off Kelvin Wilson inside the box only to blaze his shot over the bar from close range when he should have hit the target.
Tyson and Garner linked up superbly and as Tyson received the ball back, he pulled a shot across goal and wide of the far post.
But seven minutes before the break Bristol drew level through a stunning strike from Elliott as he fired in off the cross bar from 25 yards out to make it 1-1 at half time.
Within two minutes of the restart, Forest were back in front.
Chambers pumped the ball forward and Tyson used his pace to get in behind the defence and inside the box, slammed the ball beyond Basso with his left foot.
Elliott could have equalised straight away, Johnson breaking down the right and pulling the cross to the back post but the midfielder fired over the bar from six yards out.
A deflected Tyson cross almost doubled the advantage until Basso got down late to his right to save.
But ten minutes from time Bristol scored when a corner was not cleared and after a goalmouth scramble, Fontaine fired a shot through a sea of Forest players and into the bottom corner.
Chambers then rifled a 25-yard effort that brought a good save from Basso before Heath charged down Stern John’s effort at the other end to save Forest.
But two minutes into stoppage time the referee awarded a penalty for a foul by Chambers on John.
But Camp, diving to his right, plucked McIndoe’s spot kick out of the bottom corner.
