"It's not easy playing these sides, the commitment is different. There's the commitment to score a goal of course, but what about the commitment to the shape, the basics, the hard yards of the game? And I thought we did that fantastically well as a group. I thought Elliot Anderson was a Rolls-Royce today, him and Callum Hudson-Odoi. I thought Nicolas Dominguez off the ball, the stuff us manager's love, from his shape and his diligence."
"Among others, but Ibrahim Sangare gives us that little bit of solid feel, he know what position to be in and allows Elliot to be a little bit freer and loser. There's a lot of good things here. We've just taken four points against some top sides in that run. We've played Manchester City, Villa away, these are tough games. So I'm pleased we've come away with another point."
Nottingham Forest held Premier League leaders Arsenal to a 0-0 draw at the City Ground, frustrating the visitors for large parts of the match. Elliot Anderson produced a standout midfield display, recording 75 touches, 37 completed passes, winning 12 of 15 duels including all five aerial battles, and regaining possession seven times. Manager Sean Dyche praised Anderson as a Rolls-Royce and highlighted the defensive diligence of Callum Hudson-Odoi, Nicolas Dominguez and Ibrahim Sangare. Forest have earned four points from recent matches against top opposition including Manchester City and Aston Villa. A potential late handball by Ola Aina was not given.
