Nottingham Forest defender Felipe says he relished his battle with Manchester City hot-shot Erling Haaland at the City Ground on Saturday.
It was the Reds’ deadline day signing who came out on top of that particular tussle, putting in a superb performance on his full debut and keeping tabs on his opponent. Haaland was unable to add to his tally of 26 Premier League goals, missing a couple of good chances in the second half of the 1-1 draw.
Felipe was well aware of the challenge he would be up against in the Norwegian. But he had a plan for how to get a grip on him.
