Taylor to the rescue for Forest

Burnley's manager, Stan Ternent, said Gareth Taylor offered his apologies after scoring the 80th-minute goal that earned Nottingham Forest a 1-1 against his former employers at the City Ground last night. The draw left both under threat of relegation from the First Division.

Burnley's manager, Stan Ternent, said Gareth Taylor offered his apologies after scoring the 80th-minute goal that earned Nottingham Forest a 1-1 against his former employers at the City Ground last night. The draw left both under threat of relegation from the First Division.

The Welshman, reluctantly sold by Burnley, fired home a left-foot drive to cancel out Richard Chaplow's opener for his fourth goal in eight games since Joe Kinnear replaced Paul Hart as Forest's manager. Ternent said: "It would have to be Gareth Taylor wouldn't it? He came up to me at the end and said 'sorry gaffer' - but he's a good lad."

Two goals by Tommy Mooney kept Swindon Town well in the Second Division promotion hunt with a 2-0 home win over Grimsby Town, while Bournemouth are outside the play-off places only on goal difference are their two Fletchers, Carl and Steve, scored a goal each in a 2-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday.
