Morgan Gibbs-White says his goal vs Manchester City was better than his goal vs Brighton
Gibbs-White’s goal against Brighton was ridiculously good, but he believes this one against City was better in his eyes, given that it’s more compatible with how he likes to play.
He was speaking to TNT Sports after the game and admitted that he enjoyed the goal and was even surprised by his own brilliance when watching it back.
He said: “When we’re so deep, the main thing is to hold it up and create something in the moment. Oh wow, yeah, it’s more instinctive, I think the way I like to play, that goal is better than the one I scored on Sunday at Brighton, I just smacked that one!”

Gibbs-White will now enjoy a well-earned rest with Forest not in action until a week on Thursday when they face Midtjylland in the Europa League.
Forest have to take this fight into future games and prove they can start winning games to pull clear of the relegation zone.
