Alan Shearer says Nottingham Forest defender Joe Worrall played a ‘huge part’ in the club’s Premier League survival this season, with the skipper named in the pundit’s Premier League team of the week.
Worrall, along with his fellow defenders helped, the Reds record an all important clean sheet in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Arsenal. Taiwo Awoniyi’s first half goal was the difference between the two sides as Forest secured their Premier League survival with one game of the season remaining.
Shearer named Worrall as part of a back three alongside Everton centre-back Yerry Mina and Brentford’s Ben Mee. In his explanation, the Premier League's record goalscorer told the official website: “Worrall played a huge part in keeping Nottingham Forest up, playing a key role in the clean sheet in the 1-0 win over Arsenal.”
