Peterborough 0 - Nottingham Forest 1: Forest seven points clear of relegation zone
TEN-MAN Nottingham Forest moved seven points clear of the relegation places thanks to Dexter Blackstock’s first-half winner.
Steve Cotterill’s side comfortably negotiated the final 20 minutes despite being a man down after Garath McCleary was shown a straight red card for a lunge on Grant McCann.
Cotterill was confident a three-match ban for McCleary could be avoided. “I would be amazed if this doesn’t get rescinded,” he said.
Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson admitted: “We had nothing left in the tank.”
