Three minutes after halftime, Anthony Elanga scored to give Forest a sizable victory.

After being suspended for the Forest game against Burnley, Worrall was added to the roster. Additionally, he was playing after a trying week that saw the passing of his uncle, a hero who died in the line of duty.
The 26-year-old personified who he is as a type of person. His cool-headed performance demonstrated why he keeps getting chosen. Everyone experiences grief differently, and this performance clearly served as Worrall’s release.

The Forest captain Worrall’s performance inspired Crooks, who praised the player and included him in his picks for the week on the BBC Sport website.
