Graeme Souness has singled out Nottingham Forest star Brennan Johnson for praise following his performance against Everton in Sunday's 2-2 draw.
The 21-year-old scored a brace - one in each half - taking his tally to nine goals in all competitions this season. The Toffees scored the opening goal through a Demarai Gray penalty following a foul by Jonjo Shelvey in the area.
Sean Dyche's side looked on course to seal the three points after Abdoulaye Decoure's effort put them 2-1 up at the interval. But Johnson rescued a share of the spoils just over 10 minutes from time, leaving Forest four points above the relegation zone.

Johnson's all-round performance paid off, with Sky Sports pundit Souness describing his second equaliser as a "class" strike.
"That’s a class finish - plays it wide right, gets it back, knows exactly what he’s going to do with it," said the former Liverpool star. "Doesn’t try to smash it, just places it and blindsides the goalkeeper because he’s played it around an Everton player - that’s the mark of a real cool finisher."
