How the Nottingham Forest dressing room reacted to promotion to the Premier League

Nottingham Forest ended their 23-year wait for Premier League football with a 1-0 victory over Huddersfield Town in the Championship play-off final.

After starting the season with six defeats in seven, the turnaround since Steve Cooper arrived in September has been tremendous as the Reds will now welcome Pep Guardiola's Manchester City and Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool to the City Ground next season.

Levi Colwill's own goal from James Garner's cross was the winner at Wembley Stadium, but the Terriers had two penalty decisions go against them despite the presence of VAR.

In the aftermath of the game, the scenes on the pitch were sights to remember for years to come. And in the changing room at the national stadium, the heroes in Red were sharing their feelings and emotions on their social media pages.

Here's what some of them have had to say ....

Brice Samba: HISTORIC. Can't believe what just happened even more if you told me that back in September. It's just incredible. Amazing support as always, so happy to reward you for all those years of believing. God is in control.
