ALAN SHEARER PRAISES NOTTINGHAM FOREST PLAYERS AFTER MANCHESTER CITY WIN

Nottingham Forest’s stunning 1-0 win over Manchester City on Saturday has earned the team widespread praise, including from Premier League legend Alan Shearer. Shearer, who selects his Team of the Week each week, included four Nottingham Forest players in his latest picks.

Goalkeeper Matz Sels was praised for his “vital stops” and ability to “command the box well,” earning him a spot in Shearer’s Team of the Week. Defender Ola Aina was also recognized for his “non-stop running” and his battle with Manchester City’s Jeremy Doku on the right side.

Brazilian defender Murillo was another Forest player to catch Shearer’s eye, with the pundit praising his ability to “frustrate some top attacking players” and noting that he “didn’t put a foot wrong” during the match.

Finally, match-winner Callum Hudson-Odoi was praised for his “qualities” that make him a perfect fit for Nottingham Forest’s team. Shearer noted that Hudson-Odoi’s goal was the result of a “stunning” team effort, and that his pace and skill on the wing make him a valuable asset to the team.

Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo also earned praise from Shearer, who noted that the coach’s “game plan worked to perfection” against Manchester City. Shearer praised Santo’s ability to get his team to “soak up pressure and then hit hard and fast” on the counter-attack.

The win over Manchester City has moved Nottingham Forest four points clear of the reigning champions, and the team is now hopeful of securing a top-four finish in the Premier League. With 10 matches remaining in the season, Forest will be looking to continue their strong form and make a push for a Champions League spot.
