Unseen Nottingham Forest moments in Brighton win explain why Steve Cooper took clear stance

Warm-ups completed on Wednesday night, the Nottingham Forest players headed back down the City Ground tunnel. As they headed to the dressing room Scott McKenna was there, fist-bumping his teammates as they filed past.

After Morgan Gibbs-White had fired in a penalty to put the seal on a 3-1 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion, he was enveloped in a mass huddle. Jesse Lingard was in the thick of it and subsequently led the dancing on the pitch. Sam Surridge, Emmanuel Dennis and Remo Freuler had all raced down the touchline to join in the celebrations, too.

Final whistle blown, Dean Henderson could be found hugging members of the coaching staff. Chris Wood was pitchside, as was Gustavo Scarpa. And Steve Cook. Ryan Yates is never very far away.
