Elliott Anderson says Nottingham Forest can take many positive lessons from their 2-2 draw with Real Betis in the Europa League, where they fell behind in Sevilla but were unable to hold on to their lead.
Igor Jesus scored two goals in the first half to help Nottingham Forest take the lead, but Anthony scored an equalizer for the home team four minutes before the end of the game.
This point symbolized the club's steady return to European competition. Elliott Anderson emphasized that few teams have ever taken the lead against a Spanish team like Nottingham Forest did. However, with four minutes remaining, Anthony scored the equalizer for the home team, securing a draw.
Elliott Anderson said: "Although the result of this game is regrettable, we still gained a lot of positive signals. Although we failed to get all three points, taking away one point away from home is equally valuable."
“Few teams can play like us here, but the key is how to control the game. We dominated the first half, played very well and created many opportunities. As long as we seize them, we can win.”
“It’s exciting to be back in Europe with the club and all we have to do is keep moving forward. The priority right now is to recover our fitness as we have another crucial game in the Premier League. Recovering and getting going again is the focus right now.”
"If the team had better control of the game, we could have easily won three games. But we will redouble our efforts in training and turn these draws into real three points."
