Midfielder Ryan Yates is reaping the rewards of his hard work as he continues to impress for Nottingham Forest.
Against Liverpool in the FA Cup on Sunday, the 24-year-old came close to extending his purple patch of finding the back of the net. He had a header saved and saw a penalty appeal waved away in the second half of the Reds’ 1-0 defeat.
Prior to that, Yates had scored in each of his last four appearances, taking his tally to eight goals for the season so far. That run included a fabulous strike from outside the box in the 4-0 rout over Reading.
