Pundit hails 'outstanding' Nottingham Forest star in Reading win

Former Nottingham Forest defender Brian Laws has heaped praise on Keinan Davis as he bagged a brace in the 4-0 thrashing against Reading.

The Aston Villa loanee found the back of the net after just 17 seconds following a cross from Djed Spence.

It became the first time the 24-year-old scored twice for the Reds after arriving at the City Ground on loan in January.

Ryan Yates and Sam Surridge also got their names on the scoresheet, helping Steve Cooper's team to edge closer to the play-offs.

Laws believes Forest have done well to land the striker, who has now scored four goals in his 10 appearances and is doing well in the absence of Lewis Grabban.

"He was absolutely outstanding. Davis has proved a very surprise and astute signing for Forest," Laws told BBC Radio Nottingham.

"When he came in you look at his goal record and there’s a bit of uncertainty but his work rate and power has been there for all to see."
