Forest are proving to be more than competitive this season. Only four teams remain unbeaten with five games gone, and the Reds are one of them. Brighton’s fightback ensured they are still yet to taste defeat. Manchester City and Arsenal are the other two. Not bad company to keep.

"It is present in us every day. We go around the club and we see how Brian Clough was important for Forest," Nuno told BBC Radio Nottingham. "What he achieved and how things change. The mentality of knowing that anything is possible in football and that is credit to Brian and the players of that fantastic moment.

Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo is proud to be managing the club where the legendary Brian Clough achieved so many impressive feats.

With Forest having upgraded the facilities at the Nigel Doughty Academy last season and over the summer, players are encouraged to socialise before and after training. The canteen area and player’s lounge are now of a Premier League standard. Those at the club are no longer nervous about potential new signings seeing the facilities.

Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo was full of praise for his players after their historic win at Liverpool on Saturday.
