Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper praised Scott McKenna's "commitment" as the defender made an earlier than expected return from injury.
McKenna had suffered a hamstring problem in last month's 3-1 win over QPR which was expected to sideline him for between four to five weeks. But he returned little after little more than a fortnight, missing just the FA Cup defeat to Liverpool at the City Ground.
The centre-back was in the starting XI for yesterday's 4-1 thumping of Blackpool, and he picked up from where he left off. McKenna put in a typically-solid performance and weighed in with a superb assist to set up substitute Sam Surridge for the Reds' final goal.
