Moussa Niakhate’s long throws have become a “really important” weapon for Nottingham Forest in their fight for survival.
The defender causes havoc in opposition penalty boxes with his ability to launch the ball into the area. And the Reds have been able to take advantage on several occasions.
They did so at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, with Taiwo Awoniyi’s second goal coming off the back of a Niakhate throw-in. It clinched an important point for Forest in the capital as they drew 2-2 with Chelsea, and head coach Steve Cooper is keen to keep utilising every advantage he can in the bid to beat the drop.
