Nottingham Forest fans loved Yates’ man of the match display in draw with West Brom

Nottingham Forest may well feel hard done by after their 2-2 draw against West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns last night.

A hugely impressive away display merited a victory and only a contentious, late Jay Rodriguez penalty denied them all three points.

It was a good team performance, which saw them break rapidly and frequently on their hosts and Lewis Grabban could have put the game out of sight when he missed a chance at 2-1.

The most impressive performer was Ryan Yates, who was man of the match for the second successive Forest game and is now beginning to show his class in the first team.

He should have been the one to put the visitors ahead but fluffed his lines when presented with an open goal, only for Stefan Johansen to do the honours instead and put the ball through his own net.

But there was no doubt that Forest’s second goal was his, lashing home through a crowd of bodies to get the strike that should really have ended up being the winner.

That it didn’t will still rankle with Forest fans but it won’t stop them showing the love for his performance and we’ve put together some of the best reaction…
