As he walked over to perform the customary victory fist-pumps, Steve Cooper tapped his heart, cupped his ear and gestured with his hands for Nottingham Forest fans to crank up the volume.
He knew what it meant to them. And it clearly meant a lot to him, too. Not simply the win itself - although it was undoubtedly a crucial one - but more what it represented.
This wasn’t about revenge for that 4-0 thumping at the King Power Stadium, it was about a purer emotion than that. Cooper saw it as giving something back, as almost a thank you.
