Nottingham Forest fans took to Twitter to praise the performance of Yuri Ribeiro after the Reds’ 1-0 over Fleetwood Town in the Carabao Cup.

Sabri Lamouchi’s side advanced to the next round courtesy of a second-half strike from Tiago Silva.
The 22-year-old joined Forest from Portuguese side Benfica on a permanent deal. He won the 2017 Portuguese Cup with the Liga Nos champions.
Nottingham Forest have enjoyed a mixed start to the season, winning, drawing and losing each of their first three games.
However, their last two results have seen them draw away at Leeds United and beat the Cod Army in the League Cup.
It seems that fans rate the Portuguese youth international, and took to Twitter to show their appreciation after his performance against Joey Barton’s side.
Here is a selection of tweets from the Forest faithful:
You made my boy very happy indeed Yuri. Thank you for such a wonderful gesture. Great performance last night, too! pic.twitter.com/gqMEQvsstV
