"It was difficult. Going 1-0 up, you want to maintain the lead and try and see it all the way through, but we concede. It's a sloppy goal from us, we know it as well. But the reaction was good, we got the second goal and we saw the game out. We want to go all the way to the final and try and win it, but it's a long way to that still."
"I wanted a goal, you could see that, but it's not always about scoring, it's about helping the team going forward and defensively. I kept saying to myself they are going to come and once they come, hopefully they will just keep flowing in nicely. I'm just enjoying playing my football. I've just got to keep working and doing the right things."
Nottingham Forest secured a 2-1 away win over Utrecht thanks to a late Igor Jesus winner, bringing the club within touching distance of the top eight in the Europa League group phase. Jesus scored just 80 seconds after coming on, marking the fastest substitute goal in the competition since Tomas Chory's 28-second strike in January. Forest face Braga away and Ferencvaros at home in their final January fixtures, with both opponents currently in the top eight. Callum Hudson-Odoi, a former Champions League and Europa League winner, expressed his desire to pursue further European success and described pride in the team response.
