NOTTINGHAM FOREST 5-1 SWANSEA: Sam Surridge hits hat-trick as Steve Cooper's side keep pressure on Bournemouth in dramatic race for promotion to the Premier League... as Cyrus Christie scores BIZARRE own goal

Sam Surridge scored a hat-trick as Nottingham Forest cruised past Swansea to keep up the pressure on Bournemouth in the race for automatic promotion from the Championship.

A bizarre own goal by Cyrus Christie - who was initially sent off after handling but was reprieved as the incident occurred after he had headed the ball over the goal-line - put Forest ahead at the City Ground.

Michael Obafemi equalised for the visitors before Surridge stole the show to give his team a vital victory in their pursuit of Premier League football.
