Morgan Gibbs-White expressed deep emotion after Nottingham Forest's win against West Ham, dedicating the victory to injured teammate Taiwo Awoniyi, who underwent surgery. Gibbs-White scored the opening goal, leading the team in honoring Awoniyi's recovery. The victory is crucial for Forest's Champions League hopes, as they need to win against Chelsea to secure a top-six spot. Gibbs-White emphasized the emotional toll of the week, noting the team's resilience and unity during this difficult time. A defeat would have ended their dreams of qualifying for the top tier of English football, making the three points vital.
It was more of an emotional one for us with Taiwo, but he's on a good recovery so that was for him.
The whole week has been tough on everyone. Wednesday was our first day back in and the place was pretty lifeless, everyone was praying and wishing him well.
Today was the perfect example of how together our team is. We all came together and knew we had to do this today.
A defeat would have ended Forest's chances of finishing in the Premier League's top five, but they now know a victory over Chelsea next Sunday would see them climb into the top six as a minimum.
