Head coach Steve Cooper was delighted to “give something back” to Nottingham Forest fans as his team toppled East Midlands rivals Leicester City 2-0.
Before the game at the City Ground, Cooper showed his players a video of the support the Reds had received during the reverse fixture against the Foxes. Even on the end of a 4-0 thumping at the King Power Stadium, there had been constant backing from the away end.
Cooper had been on the verge of being sacked after that defeat. But rather than wield the axe, the club stuck by him and awarded him a new contract.
