'Top-class' Nottingham Forest transfer praised following 'painful' Man City heroics

Nottingham Forest are "lucky to have" Keylor Navas after the goalkeeper pulled out all the stops against Manchester City, even going so far as to use the proverbial family jewels to protect his goal.

The 36-year-old, who joined the Reds on loan from Paris Saint-Germain on deadline day in the January transfer window, rolled back the years with a stellar performance against the Premier League champions on Sunday. He made five saves in the game, with only Fulham's Bernd Leno (7) making more across the weekend's action.

Three of them were from range, most notably his save from Ilkay Gundogan's direct free-kick, but two of them were from inside the six-yard box from corners. Navas stopped Ruben Dias for one of them, while he denied Aymeric Laporte for the other with his groin.
