Forest leave it late at The Den
A late strike from Nathan Tyson rescued Nottingham Forest a point against Millwall at The Den.
Struggling Millwall had taken a two-goal lead through Neil Harris and loan signing Jay Simpson, but goals from Chris Cohen and Tyson in the final five minutes left honours even.
Forest could have reclaimed second place with a win, but things did not appear to be going to plan for Colin Calderwood's high-flying side as Harris struck in a free-kick after 27 minutes.
And after the interval midfielder Simpson, on loan at The Den from Arsenal, pounced to double the advantage.
Kenny Jackett's side looked good value for their lead and the three points which would have moved them up to 19th position in the table, while still enjoying a game in hand over some of their relegation rivals.
However, first Forest midfielder Cohen netted in the 85th minute to leave the Millwall faithful fearing a nervy finish.
And their fears were confirmed with two minutes remaining as Tyson struck to secure what could prove a vital point in the battle for promotion to the Championship.
