Garner Stars as Depleted Everton Beat Forest 2-0 to Climb Back Into Top Half

Moyes highlighted a depleted squad's clinical edge under James Garner's leadership.

Overview

  • James Garner scored after 19 minutes and later set up Thierno Barry to secure a 2-0 victory at the City Ground.
  • The result halted Everton's three-match losing run and moved them up to eighth, keeping European spots within reach.
  • Moyes noted he had limited senior options due to injuries and Africa Cup of Nations absences, calling the win one of his best away results.
  • Forest dominated territory and sent a barrage of crosses into the box, but Tarkowski, Jake O’Brien and Jordan Pickford held firm.
  • Sean Dyche rued his side's lack of a killer edge as Forest's finishing woes persisted and their relegation concerns lingered.
