Everton: Abdoulaye Doucouré's stunner against Nottingham Forest (Video)

Abdoulaye Doucouré delivered a crucial victory for Everton against Nottingham Forest this Saturday, April 12 in the Premier League, by scoring a decisive goal in stoppage time.

Before this encounter, Everton FC was on a six-match winless streak in the English Premier League. Drifting further away from the Top 10, the Toffees were starting to sink to the bottom of the table. It was therefore imperative to clinch three points from Nottingham Forest this weekend in the tournament. The Tricky Trees, also eager to return to winning ways, did not hold back.

The match between Nottingham Forest and Everton, played at City Ground, was marked by constant intensity. The game seemed headed for a draw when Murillo lost possession on the left side of the field in stoppage time. The Toffees seized the opportunity to launch a rapid counter-attack. Assisted by Dwight McNeil, Abdoulaye Doucouré finished the move with composure in front of Matz Sels with a stunning powerful strike (90+4). Scoring his third goal of the season in the Premier League, the Malian opened the scoring and secured the victory for Everton (1-0).
