Dejan Kulusevski's magnificent display in our 2-0 win at Forest has earned the Premier League's Man of the Match Award.
The Sweden international is in the form of his life - he's up to five goals and two assists in 17 games - and delivered again with a goal and assist as we came through a tough examination at the City Ground.
Initially starting in a '10' role, Deki was switched out to the right when Brennan Johnson was forced off with a head injury on 32 minutes. It was from there that he swung in a delicious cross for the opening goal just before half-time as Richarlison rose above Willy Boly and Matt Turner to head home.
Even better was to follow in the second half. On 65 minutes, Deki pounced on Turner's poor clearance, drove into the box, shifted right and smashed the ball through the Forest goalkeeper and home.
The game soon changed again as Yves Bissouma was sent off, but our 10 men defended stoutly to maintain a clean sheet and take the points home.
