Elliot Anderson stars for Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal
Anderson has been out of sorts recently, and thankfully, this was a performance that he can be proud of.
The Geordie was outstanding against Arsenal and outshone his England teammate Declan Rice in the midfield engine room.
Anderson was outrageously good against the Gunners and ultimately, he cannot really offer anything more than he did against Arsenal.

Forest need Anderson to keep shining
The Reds are going to need players like Anderson to keep shining with the games coming thick and fast for the Reds.
Last night was a superb display for the midfielder and ultimately, he looked back to his best, which can only help the team.
Anderson is being billed as a £100 million player and he showcased that mantra yesterday against a normally formidable team.
Now the challenge is consistency and hopefully, Anderson can maintain this form until the end of the season.
