Nottingham Forest managed a narrow away win against Cardiff City on Tuesday night – and some of the club’s fans on Twitter hailed defender Joe Worrall for his performance.

Sabri Lamouchi’s side kept up their automatic promotion bid by beating Cardiff 1-0 on the road in the Championship fixture.

Tiago Silva’s early goal in the second-half gave the Reds three points, as he converted a cross from teammate Lewis Grabban into the top corner.

The result means that Forest are now up to third in the Championship table and are only three points behind second-placed Leeds United, but they have played a game extra.

Leeds travel to Middlesbrough on Wednesday night for their midweek fixture and have some extra pressure on their shoulders.

A selection of Forest supporters on social media picked out Worrall for his contribution in midweek and believe he was a colossus in defence.

The 23-year-old centre-back has been an ever-present in the defence this season and he helped earn another clean sheet against Cardiff.

He’s a young talent that came through the academy system at the City Ground and it now finally looks like he is maturing to a brilliant defender at Championship level.
