Nottingham Forest's F.A. Premier Academy side reeled off their second successive league win of the season when they defeated Portsmouth 3-2 at Wilford Lane.

And, as they did against Cardiff the previous week, the young Reds came from behind to maintain their 100 per cent record.

They were a goal down after 20 minutes but equalised in spectacular fashion five minutes after the break when Kostakis Artymatas smashed home a 25 yard right foot shot.

Forest went ahead five minutes later through second half substitute Ryan Tinsley but Portsmouth hit back when a long range shot was deflected past Zannettos Mytides.

But Tinsley had the last word with his second goal of the game in time added on when the Portsmouth keeper spilled a shot and he followed up to tuck the ball home.

Said Academy Director Nick Marshall: "We did well to come from behind again and showed a lot of character in doing so. But we know that there is still room for improvement in our performances."

Team: Mytides, Kay, Osborn, Meadows, Lascelles, Andrews, Artymatas, Gibbons, Mullen (Reynor), Swindell (Tinsley), Freeman.
Subs not used: Kyprianou, Gathercole, Laifis.
