Nottingham Forest supporters would have loved to be in the dressing room to witness a unique moment involving boss Nuno Espirito Santo after their huge 1-0 win over Manchester City.

Forest extended their lead in third place and closed the gap to just three points from second-placed Arsenal ahead of their clash with Manchester United on Sunday. City meanwhile, were caught out at the City Ground as Callum Hudson-Odoi struck at the near post in the 82nd minute.

It was City's ninth defeat of the season and they are now four points from Forest in fourth. Adding to the celebrations, Ola Aina filmed Nuno dancing with defender Willy Boly in the dressing room as the likes of Anthony Elanga and other players cheered him on.

Aina is heard in the background saying: "Go on boss."

Speaking to reporters at full-time, Nuno said: "We are very happy. We did a very good game against a tough team. The defensive display was good. Proud and happy. We are talking about the best teams around.

"It always gives you the confidence that you can compete well against such good players. It allows us to grow as a team, but it doesn’t change the opponent ahead of you because the Premier League is very tough.

"Every good performance we have and every good result we have is always what we look for.

"Now, we look ahead to Ipswich. Let’s rest because it was a tough week for us. Many of our players made 120 minutes-plus (against Ipswich in the FA Cup on Monday night) and now 90 minutes today. Thank God they are healthy for now. Let’s keep them healthy, recover and prepare for the next one.

"It doesn’t change anything. It’s about the focus and the approach of the games. Let’s enjoy the journey together. The players are doing amazing, the fans are giving us help, so let’s keep on enjoying."
