Demarai Gray salvaged a late point for Everton against Nottingham Forest at Goodison Park as the Toffees' winless start to the Premier League continued.

Brennan Johnson looked to have scored a winner for the visitors that would have condemned Everton to a third defeat in their opening three games for the first time in the Premier League.

Not since 1990 have the Toffees endured such a poor start, but winger Gray's 88th-minute leveller ensured Frank Lampard's side avoided that unwanted piece of history.

Johnson finished smartly in the 81st minute after Jordan Pickford palmed out Ryan Yates' effort from range but Forest led for only seven minutes.

Gray later said: "We're disappointed to come away with just one point. We controlled the game and created so many opportunities but we switched off. The positive to take is obviously that we equalised. Last season we might not have come back so we showed character to take a point.

"Performance-wise we were good today but nobody is fully happy with a point. If we keep playing like that, we will win games and we approach each game trying to win."
