Nottingham Forest was victorious in a thrilling match against Wolves, 3-0.
Following a defeat to Manchester City in early December, Nuno Espirito Santo has won six consecutive games.
The victory was obtained thanks to goals from Morgan Gibbs-White, Chris Wood and Taiwo Awoniyi who grabbed his first goal of the campaign.
Gibbs-White made waves against his former team once more, with the player receiving loud boos whenever he touched the ball.
The Forest captain signed for the club for £25 million, and Gibbs-White has represented England this season under Espirito Santo’s coaching.
He certainly loved his goal, and understandably, following the victory, the Forest number 10 was questioned about his typical celebration in front of the Wolves fans.
Morgan Gibbs-White explains why he celebrated vs Wolves.
Gibbs-White was lauded by Jamie Carragher and Tom Cairney on Monday Night Football, and he deserved the praise.
After the game, the talk was about why he opted to celebrate against his former club.
Naturally, he was going to be a touch cheeky with the celebration, given that the home team’s chants were unpleasant to say the least.
“It’s all love and banter, that’s the way I take it anyway.”
