Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo heaped praise on a key midfielder this week.

Santo waxed lyrical about the importance of Morgan Gibbs-White after a 3-1 win over Fulham.

Former Wolves attacker Gibbs-White was at his best, pushing his team to a 3-0 lead in the first half with a goal and assist.

“Morgan is a very special player for us," the Portuguese manager said post-game

“Very important, talented, the work rate on the pitch, but to allow Morgan to have these moments a lot of things happen behind, hard work by the boys and this is very important."

Callum Hudson-Odoi and Chris Wood got the other two goals for Forest on the night.
