Kieran Trippier absolutely superb once again.
A great defender and what a captain.
Kieran Trippier also not too shoddy in the opposition half, a quality delivery for Bruno to volley home and open the scoring, that was his 10th (TENTH) Premier League assist of the season already! The England defender now level with Ollie Watkins at the very top of the table for PL assists.
Kieran Trippier speaking to Premier League Productions after the 3-2 win at Forest:
“It is massive for us.
“We have spoken a lot about doing the basics again and turning our performances into positive results.
“This is no easy place to come and we had to work for it.”
Kieran Trippier on Bruno Guimaraes:
“When Bruno plays further up he shows his magic.
“I’m delighted for him.
“The calmness he has brought to the team since he arrived has been brilliant.”
Kieran Trippier on the set-piece move that brought the opening goal:
“I think we did it before against Brentford.
“We try to come up with different ways of creating chances.
“A game can be decided by a set play.”
Kieran Trippier on Forest:
“Forest are a quality side and are very dangerous on the transition.
“In moments it’s going to happen.
“Martin [Dubravka] made some good saves.”
Kieran Trippier asked about the gap to the top four:
“Never say never but it’s going to be tough.
“It’s been mixed emotions for us this season.
“It’s about finishing the season strong.
“We have one game a week now and we’re getting players back fit, which is very important for us.”
