Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright has heaped praise on Nottingham Forest after they beat Leicester City 2-0 at the City Ground yesterday (Saturday).
A brace from Brennan Johnson secured all three points at the City Ground, lifting Forest up to 13th in the Premier League table. Steve Cooper's men are now five points clear of the relegation zone, with games against Bournemouth (17th) and Leeds (14th) up next in the league.
Things seem to have turned around for Forest since the World Cup, with Match of the Day pundits Ian Wright and Gary Lineker praising the team on Saturday evening. Lineker introduced the post-match analysis by saying: "A bunch of individuals, perhaps, earlier in the season, now look like they've come together as a team."

Wright replied: "Very much a team. They've got some hard workers, some very good technicians, and some pace and quality up front - as we saw with Brennan Johnson.
"It's all come together now. People were talking about how many people they've got, how are they going to gel. I think they're gelling now, they worked hard.
"I have to say, Leicester had a couple of really good chances through Harvey Barnes. I thought [Forest] were fantastic. If they have to, they go long. They have the pace of Brennan Johnson and the back-up of Scarpa, who I thought was brilliant as well today. Aurier, Scarpa, Yates, Johnson, Gibbs-White, Lodi - all of them brilliant today. Caused all sorts of problems."
