The winger scored the only goal of the game at the City Ground on Tuesday night, against his former club, to make it three Premier League wins in a row for the Reds. Nuno Espirito Santo's side remain third in the table and on course for Champions League qualification with eight matches to go.

The only downside to a memorable evening for Forest was losing Ola Aina to injury, particularly as they were already without Chris Wood (hip problem) and Callum Hudson-Odoi (personal matter). Below is a look at what head coach Nuno had to say after the final whistle.

On a big win....

"Over the moon. We are delighted, realising how the game went. We could not be more proud than we are, because it was very tough."

On Murillo's last-ditch clearance at the death...

"It was huge for us. Better than a goal, wasn't it?
