Nottingham Forest secures Champions League spot with 4-2 win over Ipswich

Nottingham Forest solidified their Champions League aspirations with a decisive 4-2 victory over Ipswich Town, moving to third place in the Premier League and extending their lead over fifth-placed Manchester City by six points. Anthony Elanga starred with two goals, while Nikola Milenkovic and Jota Silva also found the net for Forest, who are now aiming for European competition for the first time since 1996. The win contrasts sharply with Ipswich's struggles, as they remain winless in 2025 and are fighting to avoid relegation. Meanwhile, Manchester City faltered in their match against Brighton, settling for a 2-2 draw that hampers their own Champions League hopes. Forest's manager Nuno Espirito Santo emphasized the need to remain focused as they approach the final stretch of the season, while Pep Guardiola expressed confidence in his team's ability to qualify for Europe despite recent setbacks. With several teams in pursuit of European spots, the race for the top four is heating up as the season progresses.
